This is a blog version of this Facebook posting. 

For your Friday reading pleasure, here’s a digitized version of the Rocky Mount Fire Department’s centennial history book. It was published in 1996 and is one of a handful of early NC FD history books.[1] It was scanned from a copy at Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina.

I’ve posted a PDF to a new site on my site, where I’m adding other books and booklets from my archives. Both complete and excerpts. Have better versions of those I’ve posted? Have others that I don’t have? Send me a note! And watch for updates on the site…

[1] Other early NC FD history books include Raleigh and Greensboro in 1984, Wilmington in 1985, Winston-Salem in 1992, and Durham in 1995.
