Fire Departments of Maryland's Eastern Shore | Willards Volunteer Fire Company

"The Willards Vol. Fire Co. was established in 1927 by a small group of townsmen led by Everett (E.B.) Fuller. A 1924 American LaFrance Chemical truck was donated to the men and was housed in a small garage next door to Mr. Fuller. It is not clear who donated the truck. In 1929 the group officially chartered with Mr. Fuller elected as the Chief and President." This is a small snippet of their history taken from the WVFC website.



In the spring of 2016 I'd passed by and taken these few photos. Would love to get a chance to talk with some of the members and hear some of the stories and history of the fire company, but as with many local departments it's not always easy to find someone with the time to chat with me.
