Although the Willow Street Fire Company is one of many fire departments that have evolved to better serve modern society, its core mission has stayed the same - even after 100 years.
The Willow Street Fire Company, 2901 N. Willow Street Pike, will commemorate 100 years of service with an open house and community celebration from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 15. The rain-or-shine event will include live music, local vendors and demonstrations from several emergency service organizations from Willow Street and its neighboring communities.
