Description

Organized fire protection in Frederick County, Maryland, existed before the adoption of the Constitution.

Follow the colorful history of the fire companies from the first fire engine in 1764 to the fire company militia units that were summoned to Harper's Ferry and fire halls used during the Civil War.

Learn how the fire companies in Frederick County had statewide influence by organizing the Maryland State Firemen's Association in 1893.

Read of the tradition of fire engines throwing water over the town clock--sometimes to test performance, other times just for bragging rights.

Local author and volunteer firefighter Chip Jewell provides a snapshot of how each fire company was organized from the early 1800s to the most recent companies in the 1970s.
