The Town of Bingham, Maine, recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Bingham Fire Department.
The department, which serves Bingham, Moscow, and the unorganized territories of Concord and Mayfield, was established in 1911 after a fire in July of that year destroyed a number of large buildings on Bingham’s Main Street.
The department currently has 24 members and averages approximately 75 calls per year.
