Our featured speaker will be Ivan Wager, Past Chief of the Berlin Volunteer Fire Company, Inc. and one of the three last surviving firefighters from the 1962 disaster. We anticipate participation from several local residents with recollections of this event.
The public is invited to help us honor those who perished and those who served and to pay tribute to the community who rebuilt after the fire.
