A new exhibit at the Plains District Memorial Museum will include the history of each of our local First Responder Organizations along with artifacts and pictures illustrating their history. A special new collection from the Timberville Fire Department includes gear and equipment from its early years which showcase the advancements made in fire fighting since the 1940’s.
Another special feature of the exhibit will be the collection of Forest Ranger Allen Biller of Timberville who served in Alaska for 10 years as a member of the National Smokejumpers Association. His collection includes photographs, tools, fire gear and uniforms used by aerial firefighters in controlling forest fires.
