More Than 150 Firefighters Get Together for Retiree Luncheon

The Raleigh Professional Firefighters Association recently brought familiar and new faces together for a retiree luncheon at The Keeter Training Center. The association's cook team served a Raleigh Fire kitchen staple, “chicken n’ rice," with peanut butter fold-overs. More than 150 guests joined to share camaraderie, storytelling, and another fantastic firehouse meal! 

Members of the Local 548, Raleigh Fire Museum, and Keeter Training Center staff helped make the event a success.
