Honoring a Legacy: The Sam Miller Story
Recently, Brian Dunphy (GCTV), Retired GFD Captain JE McCarter, Retired Pinecroft Sedgefield Chief Kendall McCarter and myself travelled to Winston Salem to interview the children of Sam Miller, one of the first paid members of the Greensboro Fire Department in 1926.
We had a very informative conversation with David and Dottie. They provided us with stories of station visits and the brotherhood of that 1926 era. If you like GFD Fire Department History, take a listen to this roundtable discussion.
The Return of Engine #496
After 85 years on the road, Greensboro’s 1904 American LaFrance Steam Engine is finally home.
