CCVFA Meets For The First Time In Shippensburg
On August 11, 1927 the Cumberland County Volunteer Firemen’s Association met in Shippensburg for the first time. The meeting was held in the Cumberland Valley Hose Company's parlor. Over 100 members from the 16 companies making up the organization attended the meeting. Near the end of the meeting the Shippensburg companies were sent to a working barn fire (posted last year) and many of the visiting firemen rushed to the scene to watch the Shippensburg's bravest in action.

I am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
I like how they call it a parlor. Wonder if we can call that in the new fire house?
ReplyDeletewhy did they met in August that year ?
ReplyDeleteYou can call it whatever you want just invite me to the smokers. I have the research on the county but never plotted when the meetings were held. They could've been every month. I can not check it right now.
