Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association Golden Anniversary
The four state Cumberland Valley Volunteer Firemen's Association marks its 50th year with a convention in Chambersburg August 22 to 25 and two big parades. The group formed after a 1901 Shippensburg fire exposed nonstandard equipment, leading to uniform couplings and standardized gear across a 400 by 300 mile territory. Dozens of local firemen will attend demonstrations and sessions.
