This year members attended the York Beach Fire Department’s 124th Anniversary celebration. It began with a parade through York Beach and across Long Sands Beach up around the Nubble area of town and then back to the York Beach ball field for a traditional New England Firemen’s muster with a respectable six muster teams. York Village Fire members having enough members to run two six person muster teams. Teams from York Village, Rollinsford, NH, North Bwerwick, Kennebunk, and Acton all competed in the friendly competition. Friendships were renewed and a fun time was had by all who attended. The tradition is being kept alive in the area by York Village and York Beach Fire Departments, though it is one that is slipping away and we are trying to keep it up. With six teams it would appear as though the event is going to be strong for at least a few more years. We are pleased to share these shots with you of the fun time we had keeping the tradition and spirit of the New England Firemen’s muster alive!!!
