WRIGHTSVILLE BEACH, NC (WWAY) — The Wrightsville Beach Fire Department is celebrating a very special birthday this year.
For 100 years the men and women at the Wrightsville Beach Fire Department have been protecting the beach town.
President of the Wrightsville Beach Volunteer Firefighter Association, Marc Scott, said this birthday is filled with special meaning.
“It means a lot to us. Obviously every day is a new adventure, but celebrating that hundred year anniversary is a big step. It’s a major anniversary for any organization, particularly the fire department here,” said Scott.
Scott said this is a time to honor all those who have served Wrightsville Beach, past and present, and celebrate the work the firefighters do.
The department has special memorabilia for sale to the public to commemorate the centennial.
