Introduction

Raleigh Fire Department: A Century of Service - 1912-2012 was published by the Raleigh Fire Department in March 2013. This was the fire department's fourth commemorative book, following "history books" published in 1982, 2002, and 2007. The printing company, which also provided design services, was Strawbridge Studios of Durham. The project's content manager was department historian Mike Legeros, who was also the project's writer and researcher. This document compiles corrections and production notes.

For information of the Raleigh Fire Department's 2007 history book, see this web page. It documents the process used to create Raleigh Fire Department: 95 Years of Services, designed and printed by M. T. Publishing in 2007. The book features text and other materials written and compiled by Mike Legeros.
