On this date 128 years ago the town of DuBois was destroyed by fire. June 18, 1888 is considered the day that organized fire protection was established in DuBois giving birth to what is today the DuBois Volunteer Fire Department. Around this time every year we celebrate the area with Community Days, followed by Firemen's Week to commemorate the Great Fire of 1888 and the establishment of our fire department.
