The Georgetown Fire Company urges our citizens to become familiar with fire prevntion in their homes and busisnesses. Our members hold public fire prevention activities in classrooms, public gatherings, and at our station.
In 1937 the company established an annual fund-raising effort known as the “Oyster Eat” Hundreds gather here each February to enjoy the food and fellowship of the event, which has been recognized by the United States Congress for its historical and cultural significance.
