This Sunday July 12th 📍 Ames Clair Hall, Union WV

At the WVDOT, we are incredibly proud when our employees get involved in the communities we serve. That is why we are thrilled to highlight WVDOT’s own Stephen Capaldo, who is leading a very special upcoming event!

Monroe County’s story is written in the steady courage of the men and women who answer the call to help their neighbors. In honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Monroe County Historical Society has invited Stephen to present a program celebrating the institutions that have protected our homes and anchored our communities: our local fire departments!

He will be honoring the Union, Peterstown, Ballard, Lindside, and Alderson fire departments, tracing their spirit of service all the way back to Benjamin Franklin's first volunteer fire brigade.

🚨 Special Invitation: All active and inactive firefighters! Please bring your stories, photographs, artifacts, and memorabilia. Help us preserve a living history built by the real people on the front lines.

📅 When: Sunday, July 12th at 2:00 PM
📍 Where: Ames Clair Hall in Union

Please share this post and tag any local firefighters you know!
