HUNTINGTON,WV (HNN) -  Thousands of people lined Fourth Ave. on a gorgeous Monday evening to view the 2011 Huntington Fire Prevention Parade. The theme for this year is , "It's Fire Prevention Week.  Protect your family from fire." The parade had  Miss Spark, Miss Ember and Miss Flame. Other parade participants were school groups, church groups, pageant winners, youth groups, fire departments and high school bands.  Many used or decorated using the 2011 theme.
  
 A lot of candy was tossed out along the parade route.   An impressive large American Flag set up by  the Huntington Fire Department  at Fourth. Ave. and Tenth St. was waving over the parade as pariticapants passed underneath it. At  sunset the combination was  impressive to see. 

The parade lasted about one hour.
