Join Chief Scott B. Graham on October 6th when he discusses the History of the Upper Montgomery Volunteer Fire Department (UMCVFD) Station 14 in Beallsville. We all expect the UMCVFD to come when we need them, but what is the story behind this area institution so necessary to residents? How did it come into being, what keeps it going, and what did we do before we could count on them?
