The Halifax Explosion
The Regional Firefighters Interpretation Center would like to also have a permanent home and long awaited display of artifacts with the full history story of the Halifax Explosion.
This very important piece of our past has been overlooked for too long, and it is now time to do something about it. Our Center would make the perfect setting to honor and remember this, and we must not forget that not only was there a great loss of life and injury, we also lost nine firefighters including the Fire Chief and Deputy Fire Chief.
We owe this (Historical Display) to all that paid the ultimate price. Please support our cause, thank you.
