150 years of stellar service.
The Hudson Fire Department, joined by family, friends, partners and community members, honored its past and celebrated its future on its birthday, Monday, April 4.
In 1873, the organized firefighting team was established. Since then, it has collaborated with neighbors to protect not just property, but most importantly, the people.
There was radio chatter barreling through the garage every once in a while; laughs and cries of children; the songs of the bagpipes; silence for those lost; and the thanks of many to be heard in the station. Fire Chief Drew Spielman spoke in great admiration for the team he joined just less than a year ago. A perfect example of their dedication, he said, was the response to tens of calls received during the recent snow storm. Active members responded from their homes to aid others.
