The Wise Avenue Volunteer Fire Company will mark its 75th anniversary in grand style with a parade and celebration event on Oct. 7. The company, which serves much of Greater Dundalk and surrounding communities, was formed on Feb. 22, 1942, during a meeting of local air raid wardens in the communities of Rosewald Beach and Inverness.. As it was World War II, the threat of enemy air strikes was foremost in people's minds, and a number of new fire companies were formed during this era.
