Bon Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 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.Photo is from the DuBois Area Historical Society's website. lavender and conservativeman633 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
