    The Mount Pleasant Volunteer Fire Department is celebrating its 125th anniversary.

    Mount Pleasant marked the occasion with a parade.

    Area first responders came out to celebrate and local businesses made floats.

    The department has been around for so long, that it pre-dates fire trucks.

    “It started in 1876. they used a hand pumper. They chartered in 1899. and now, here we are today, our 125th anniversary,” said chief Paul Harenchar.
