2017 was an important year for Thomasville Fire Rescue, as the department marked 150 years of service to the Thomasville community.
On December 30, TFR will formally recognize the occasion as well as the first line of duty death in the department, which occurred 100 years ago on December 30, 1917. According to Fire Chief Chris Bowman, both occasions will be remembered during this year’s Firefighter Appreciation Dinner.
“Thomasville firefighters have been a part of protecting citizens and their homes from fire for 150 years,” said Bowman.
