Members of the Greenwood Volunteer Fire Company celebrated the company’s 100 anniversary on Aug. 24 with a ceremony outside the meeting hall and fire station. The station has been converted into a museum. The transition from volunteer to an all city paid fire department started in 1956 when volunteers at the city’s six companies were paid a stipend as “call men.” In 1973, the city abolished the “call men” and went to a full-time paid department. Many of the call men became full time. (A brief history of the company and an account of the event were published in last Thursday’s Beacon. These are additional images of the commemoration.)
