DE Volunteer Firefighters Association celebrates 100 years of service

DOVER, Del. –  The Delaware Volunteer Firefighters Association celebrated a huge milestone Saturday afternoon, observing 100 years of service to communities across the first state.

The event was actually scheduled for last year but was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The day included a parade, festival, and community members got the chance learn more about what the organization does.

Department personnel tell 47ABC its importance to note that agencies like DVFA are full of volunteers who take out their own time to serve their communities and Saturday they were recognized for their hard work.
