Scenes from the Bomberos' Torchlight Parade photos by Eric Jackson
The Cuerpo de Bomberos is older than any other part of the Panamanian government --- it was formed back when we were part of Colombia, on November 28, 1885. That anniversary is celebrated every year with the last and coolest of the November patriotic parades, a torchlight procession along Via España and Avenida Central from the banking district to Plaza Cinco de Mayo.
Some of the usual contingents were missing from this year's parade: the SINAPROC disaster relief agency and some specialized rescue units were very busy because of floods that affected nearly 100 communities and cost at least 11 lives.
More photos of the parade, these electronically manipulated into abstract art, can be found here.
