Back in September, Millwood FD held our 100th Anniversary celebration at Station 1. On Friday night, we hosted the Westchester County Volunteer Firefighter Association’s 118th Annual Convention Meeting and Dinner. It was an honor to get this opportunity from the Westchester County Volunteer Firefighter’s Association and a great meeting.
On Saturday night, Millwood FD was able to celebrate our 100th Anniversary with our members, local dignitaries, and neighboring first responders. It was a fantastic night filled with live music, great food, and even better company. We also held a raffle that was a great success! We appreciate all donations to the fire company, and greatly thank the first place winner for donating half of their winnings back to the company.
