This has nothing to do with the fire service, but I guess it could have. Just sharing it because it is hilarious. It looks like a scene out of an early Woody Allen movie, but this really happened in Toledo, Ohio Wednesday. High winds dislodged a giant inflatable red ball that is part of an art project and the chase was on. Luckily no one was injured.
The recovery team included members of the traveling crew, museum staff, bystanders, and a waiter from Ice, Ms. Garrow said. Some can be seen in a video sprinting after the ball as it turns the corner from Madison Avenue onto St. Clair Street.
RedBall, a traveling performance art piece by artist Kurt Perschke, is a 15-foot, 250-pound inflatable red ball, meant to draw attention to city spaces often overlooked by its residents, the artist said in a forum at Promenade Park on Tuesday.
