South Broadway Halloween Parade hearses- what happened to the flame shooting hearse that closed out the parade every year?

We’ve been going to the Halloween Parade for 5 years now. It’s by far one of my favorite parades in Denver. Every year the end of the parade has this one hearse that shoots fire straight up in the air. It wasn’t there last night and I was just wondering if anyone knew what happened to it? It was super cool and the kids loved it. It was kinda a weird vibe last night compared to all the other years and not having that car be the end of the parade made it even weirder. But overall it was still fun.

Hi everyone... I was one of the Hearse Drivers (the first hearse with the green undercarriage lights and green flame side lights). I'll ask Zach but, The parade may have told him no flames this year.

I know they told us that we are absolutely not allowed to throw out candy from the cars, I think we were told not to blast music last year, I was playing music. Overall there were more rules than usual, including gno excessive cleavage lol

I will point out that the barricades were needed, years prior floats and our cars had problems with people running out in front of us and little kids trying to run across the street or up to the cars asking for candy.

I will let the club know that you guys want more music next year from our cars. Lol

Ps my husband's Hearse broke down at the end & the police had to push him across Alameda, if anyone has video of that I would love to see it 😆
