As part of the "America 250" celebration, the fire company is proudly displaying a second flag on our main pole at the Station. We will be the rotating the second flag every two months. We first displayed the "Betsy Ross" Flag and are currently flying the "America 250" Flag.

Betsy Ross Flag - This iconic flag features 13 stars arranged in a circle, representing the original colonies, and is a timeless symbol of independence and patriotism. Though commonly linked to seamstress Betsy Ross, its true origin remains debated among historians.

America 250th - In 2026, the United States of America will celebrate its 250th anniversary—a once-in-a-generation milestone honoring the signing of the Declaration of Independence and the enduring spirit of freedom.
