Generations of Laurel firemen
BY LARRY TANGLEN Outlook Staff
Being a fireman is more than training and extinguishing fires. It's about serving others in the community according to former longtime fireman and former Laurel Volunteer Fire Department Chief Darrell McGillen.
Another former chief, now deceased, Gay Easton, recognized as the department's historian, made a similar statement last fall before he died. He told Kevin Kooistra-Manning with the Western Heritage Center last October that the department started events to provide social activities to bring the firemen together.
