On Sunday, Sept. 28th the Boger City Fire Dept. held its 50th Anniversary at the station. Members from the community, firefighters from the entire county, families of firefighters, and many others came to celebrate the occasion. There were old pictures from the past, a slide show, a smokehouse for the kids, refreshments, and lots of fellowship. The guest speaker was Dave Murphy (Fire Safety Engineering Technology professor from UNC Charlotte) who spoke how far the fire service has come and how valuable volunteers are to the community. Chief Hill recognized the original founders of the Fire Dept. including Hub Finger who was the only original founder in attendance. Hub received a standing ovation from the crowd. Chief Hill also recognized his father and still active member Clyde Hill for 50 years of service with a white leather helmet with a fire engine on the shield. The Board of Directors would like to give thanks to all the current firefighters as well as past firefighters for professional and outstanding service to the community for 50 years.
