“Scarborough Fire Department” presented by Nicholas Reichard.

This presentation examines the history of the Scarborough Fire Department. In the early 1900s, many communities, including Scarborough, quickly mobilized following a series of devastating fires in the surrounding area that resulted in the loss of several grand hotels and sparked widespread wildfires. Scarborough began establishing fire stations and assembling fire-fighting equipment at that time. Over the next century, dedicated residents laid the foundation for what has become the proud legacy of today’s Scarborough Fire Department. Nicholas Reichard, a representative of the Fire Department, shares the department’s rich history in this program. Recorded January 5, 2025, sponsored by the Scarborough Historical Society and the Prouts Neck Historical Society.
