A Family Affair - Generations Serve
It was a tradition in many Pacolet
families to serve the community by being a Volunteer
Fireman. It was not unusual for two or even three
generations of the same family to serve. The following
are generations that have served in either the Pacolet
Station Fire Department - (PFD), the Pacolet Mills Fire
Department - ( PMFD) or the Pacolet Mills Rescue
Squad - (PMRS). They are in no particular order or order
of importance. They were all important in whatever role
they served for the community.
