The good folks at the Gardiner Fire Department (GFD) are in a celebratory mood this year. They don’t know the exact date -- “They never kept minutes in the old days,” says fire chief David Bailin -- but they do know that the town’s original Fire District was formed sometime in 1912. They have chosen the second weekend in October for a big two-day bash commemorating the GFD’s centennial, and will be working up to it with a series of smaller events and fundraisers.
