This 400 page book reveals
information unseen for over a century about the Fire Company, the Town of
Leesburg and the history of Loudoun County.
Over two hundred fires,
many of them devastating and deadly, are documented and indexed by date and
town.
Discover the true origin of
the Star Fire Co., why the fire apparatus were once stored under the stage in
the Opera House and many other forgotten facts.
Meet the fireman that
commissioned Robert E. Lee, learn how the entire Company was almost wiped out
by an explosion and how the Town came close to being destroyed by fire on more
than one occasion.
Stories from around the
County include the lynching of an accused arsonist and murderer, the use of dynamite
to stop a fire and a multitude of little known events that make Loudoun’s
history unique.
