Kingston’s Fires and the Kingston Volunteer Fire Company

At the Kingston Historical Society's Annual Meeting, Fire Chief George Luck, Jr. will give an illustrated talk about early fires in the community prior to the formation of the current fire company, share what little information we have on an earlier fire department, and then speak about the formation of the current fire company, including anecdotes from newspaper articles and early pictures, fires, fund raising, and community events up to the present. The event takes place at the Kingston Firehouse, 8 Heathcote Road in Kingston, and is free and open to all. https://www.khsnj.org/
