The Raleigh Fire Department is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year. Special events are planned including a birthday party in downtown Raleigh on Saturday, June 16. The celebration starts with a parade at 10:00 a.m. Departments and antique owners throughout the southeast are invited. After the parade, there'll be an apparatus muster with static displays and antique pumping demonstrations. As well as firefighter games, with four challenge events are planned. Fire departments throughout the state are invited to send teams. Plus activities that day for kids and their parents. Plus a shuttle bus to the fire museum. And a few more surprises.
