You are invited to share your memories of the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Department for a special project. The department announced last month it would be partnering with Write On, Door County, The Sister Bay Historical Society, the Liberty Grove Historical Society, the Door County Library, Recollection Wisconsin, and others to capture audio and video recordings of former and current firefighters. The hope is not just capturing the memories of firefighters but making them available for future generations. Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Fire Chief Chris Hecht has been able to sit in on the recordings and he has taken away a lot from the sessions.

The project hopes to be completed in time for National Fire Prevention Week next year, which is slated for October 9-15, 2022. You can contact the SBLGFD oral history project’s director, Maryanne O’Dowd, at nordoorfirehistory@gmail.com to learn how to submit your oral history.
