Sunday, Jan. 13, several Wake Forest firemen led by Captain Ben Davis will tell the story of the Wake Forest Fire Department’s growth and changes from the early bucket brigades and hand-pulled reels of hose to today’s sophisticated trucks and equipment.
The program at the Wake Forest Historical Museum in the 400 block of North Main Street is presented by the Wake Forest Historical Association, and everyone in and out of town, young and old is invited to attend.
The program will run from 3 to 5 p.m. and there will be refreshments afterward. There is no cost to attend.
However, the Wake Forest Historical Association, which will hold a short membership meeting at 3 p.m. is encouraging area residents to join for $10 a year.
Before and after the meeting, attendees are welcome to tour the museum with its history about the college, the town and the area.
