Many people lined the streets in Millsboro today to help the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company commemorate 70 years of service.
The fire company hosted a parade and celebration for the community and surrounding fire departments who came to mark the occasion.
One local Sherry Lee Biele said, she and her family always like to support their local fire department.
"My son was a member of the Indian River Fire Company at one point," Biele said. "The chaplain for the fire department married my son and daughter in law, so it has a special place in our hearts."
Patrick Miller, the president of the Indian River Volunteer Fire Company said this event was a big deal for everyone involved.
"I can't believe that it has been 70 years especially when we look back at the historical records and see where we came from to where we are today," Miller said.
