Firemen's Muster

Our Orange Volunteer Firefighters will join Woodbridge, Bethany and other "brothers"  (and sisters) from Connecticut and nearby states at the 39th annual Engine 260 Antique Fire Apparatus Show and Muster at Eisenhower Park, Route 121, Milford, Saturday, Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

This free family event is a favorite for young and old. More than 100 antique fire trucks will be on display, and 30 vendors will take part in the flea market with fire-related items.

A children's play area includes an interactive fire education trailer, which many children have enjoyed at the Orange Fire Department over the years, and other activities.
