GULF SHORES, Ala. — Fire trucks will be rolling all over Baldwin on Sunday, but they won’t be battling fires.

They’ll be surprising 10 county women who are battling cancer. The Lower Alabama Chapter of the Guardians of the Ribbon event will send four fire trucks to give flowers, gift certificates, cards and truckloads of support to the women.

Oh. And all the fire trucks are pink. They are from the original chapter of the Guardians, Glendale Ariz.

“The women don’t know anything about this,” Asher Michon of the Orange Beach Fire Department said. “Really, it’s to let the women who are going through cancer know that they are not alone.

“We’ll go there, but in our pink gear, and give them hugs and all that. That’s really the best part about it, the home visits. We got the names from the Baldwin County Cancer Center. The women were asked when they were doing treatments if you want a surprise on Sunday, write your name down.”

The home visits are just part of daylong festivities that start at noon at LuLu’s in Gulf Shores. While the fire trucks are making the rounds, children’s activities as well as other fundraisers will be going on all afternoon.

Orange Beach’s own pink fire truck, the only one in Alabama and only one of 25 in the country, will stay at LuLu’s to draw attention to activities there.

“We’ll also have a silent auction, raffles from 12-4 p.m.,” Michon said. “A lot of people will be staying at LuLu’s and they’re going to be doing a lot of stuff for kids, kids’ games on the sand and the monkey bars.

“There’s going to be health screenings from doctors and there’s going to be several doctors that will be speaking. It’s going to be a big deal. Last year I think we had about 2,000 people show up. This year we’re going to try to make it bigger and better.”

Michon says residents are welcome to follow the tour in cars or on motorcycles. The caravan, which will be escorted by police and sheriff’s cars from county departments, will leave at noon on Sunday.

The Orange Beach, named Cindy after a firefighter’s wife who lost her cancer battle, has been busy with events all over the state. It will be in Birmingham on Friday and Saturday at a Susan G. Komen event Michon says will attract 300,000 women. Cindy will return to Orange Beach in time for Sunday’s events.

“We just got back from Auburn with our truck,” Michon said. “It’s pretty hot and heavy right now especially with the requests and everything as far as folks calling us and wanting the truck for Relay for Life and other things like that.

“We’re raising a lot of money. We helped a nurse last week, gave her $4,000, that’s going through cancer. It’s turning into a pretty big thing. It’s actually a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. We’re going to Crestview tomorrow, Mobile to Spring Hill Hospital on Thursday.”
