Firefighters Tomme Tysdale and Nathan Wise of the Waukee Fire Department cook up a treat for early risers on MINI TAKES THE STATES.
A special pancake breakfast was provided by the Waukee Fire Department for hundreds of MINI fans as they gathered at the Rise and Shine event. In return for a delicious breakfast, which was cooked and served by members of the Waukee fire department, participants were asked to make a contribution to a fund to raise money for a much-needed new fire truck.

A fire truck ladder allowed photographers to capture a unique bird's eye view image of the rally.
The firemen also helped organizers of MTTS capture one of the most impactful images of the rally so far, when they provided a high-lift rescue ladder. The platform provided a bird’s eye view for photography and video footage of hundreds of guests and their MINIs lined up below waiting for the drive-off.

Waving to the camera. MINI fans captured on camera from up on high.
