This is a blog archives posting from June 2011. The page is corrupted on the old site, so we\u2019re re-posting here.<\/em><\/p>\n

And a random artifact for your Monday enjoyment. This is the constitution and by-laws of the original incarnation<\/a>\u00a0(PDF)\u00a0of the Raleigh Professional Fire Fighters Association (web site<\/a>). Same is scanned from a photocopy of the original booklet.<\/p>\n

The organization was chartered in 1938, as Chapter 548 of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF). The original application was dated February 4 and listed 21 charter members. The Temporary President was K. J. Smith and the Temporary Secretary was R. G. Davis.<\/p>\n

The association was re-chartered in 1969, with an application dated June 10 of that year. The Temporary President was Ned Perry, the Temporary Vice-President was B. T. Fowler, and the Temporary Secretary and Treasurer was Maylon Frazier. The application included the names of 173 charter members.<\/p>\n

They re-chartered a second time in 1986. The March 23 application listed Temporary President James Driver and Temporary Secretary and Treasurer Donnie Perry.<\/p>\n
