Manor House Lecture Series

Seaford Volunteer Fire Department

The First 50 Years: 1901 – 1951

presented by

Wayne Rigby

This presentation traces the development of SVFD from its organization in 1901 to the dedication of its second (and still in use) fire station in 1951.  The archives of the Dept. have been used to illustrate the development from buckets and borrowed hoses to a fully equipped multi-engine but still all-volunteer organization.  Emphasis is on some of the early members who made this happen and the equipment and how it changed over the years. 

Presenter Wayne Rigby taught science at Seaford HS and joined the SVFD in 1979.  He has served as firefighter, ambulance attendant, EMT, rescue lieutenant, secretary, vice president, president and historian and is currently a life member.
