Singerly Firefighter Robert McKinney

Last month, Singerly Fire Company launched an oral history project to document the Department’s story.  The project is initially focusing on recording interviews with the most senior members.

As the initial interviews are collected, we are sharing brief outtakes from the much longer sessions.  In time, as the initiative advances, we will use the raw footage from the extended tapings to interpret the company’s history and produce materials to share the Singerly Story.

In the meantime, we are sharing these segments as we continue our work

Firefighter Robert McKinney shares his story, in this interview from July 12, 2014.  Bob joined the company in 1969, and served in many positions.  He was often the company’s top responder to alarms.
