Waterford's Proud Tradition of Professional Firefighting Continues

Waterford's fire department is relatively young, despite the town's long history -- for many years our rural enclave relied on assistance from other towns with established fire departments. Now that we have our own firefighting team of highly trained volunteers, we still depend on other towns' firefighters, and support them in this vital work.

Here's a clipping from today's Caledonian-Record, saluting the achievement of Ryan Aremburg, whose family plays a large role in the town's current fire department.

Mark your calendar for June 27 at 6:30 p.m. at Lower Waterford's Davies Memorial Library, to hear veteran firefighter Clarence Priest, Jr., talk about his archives of the town's firefighting history at the regular meeting of the Waterford Historical Society -- free and open to the public.
