HISTORY
Our Story
Biggersville Volunteer Fire Department was officially founded on March 25, 1980 when a group of community members gathered at Biggersville Schools to discuss the creation of a fire department to serve the community. On April 8, 1980, a commissioned board of directors including Billy Brawner, Martin Huggins, Leland Harris, James Yancey, and Tony Morton, met and Chief Bill Bagwell stepped into the role as our first Chief.
