The Salisbury Fire Department was established on Dec. 8, 1817, and is rich in tradition and history. A fire prevention parade was an annual event in Salisbury from the mid-1950s through the early 1980s. The Salisbury Fire Department is proud to renew this tradition and share the history of the Salisbury Fire Department and neighboring fire departments with the community through this year’s parade, held in conjunction with National Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 7-13, and the “Where’s the Fire” exhibit currently on display at Rowan Museum.
