About

Fire departments are steeped in honor and tradition. They have always been the critical hub of any town as a stable and reliable institution, called on when danger strikes. It is today little appreciated that in the era of the American Revolution, fire companies comprised a ready pillar against the forces that threatened Colonist's property and domestic security. These were sacred belongings, and every early American firefighter was sworn to protect them, “for the better preservation of our own and our Fellow Citizens’ Houses Goods & Effects.”
