Watch: Lights and Sirens at the Napa Christmas Parade

A vintage police cruiser, ambulances old and new and the City of Napa Fire Department's gleaming red ladder truck delight the downtown crowds in our video from the 2012 Napa Christmas parade.

No parade is complete without lots of police and fire vehicles with their lights flashing and sirens blaring. Our video from this year's downtown Napa Christmas parade begins with the Napa Police Historical Society's restored 1957 Ford Custom 300, driven by detective and crime historian Todd Schulman.

The video also features vintage and modern ambulances from American Medical Response and the City of Napa Fire Department's massive ladder truck.
