Fireworks Cap 125th Middleburgh Fire Department Celebration

MIDDLEBURGH - Capping a day-long celebration of the Middleburgh Fire Department's 125th anniversary of service to the Village and surrounding areas, fireworks wowed the crowds behind the High School and through out the central and outskirts of the Village on what could be a more beautiful Saturday evening.

The fireworks began promptly at 9:30 in the evening and lasted approximately for thirty minutes, alternating from spectacular light show to simple streaks in the sky to Valley shaking booms that rattled spectators eardrums and were reportedly heard almost two miles up Route 145.

But nothing short of jaw dropping can explain the grand finale, which promoters initiated with a simulated lighting of wooden structures that read "MFD 125 MFD" with a fireman's symbol in the middle, letting everyone in direct view know that this was the fire department's day to be proud of their service.
