Hillsborough / Orange Rural Fire Department

One of our mutual aid partners is Hillsborough (Unofficial Motto: "Not as good as Efland, but we're trying"). Depite having red fire trucks, they are a very aggressive and highly competent group. The town of Hillsborough, NC is located about 7 miles east of Efland and is the county seat of Orange County, North Carolina.

Here's a look back in time at this fine department:

Front Row (L-R): Deputy Chief Mac Cabe, Chief Jimmy Summey, Assistant Chief Jeff Cabe.
Second Row (L-R): Lieutenant Kevin Elvin, Captain David Parker, Lieutenant Wallace Wilson, Lieutenant Mike Ray, Lieutenant Cliff Cates, Captain/Secretary/Treasurer Lee Gordon.
Back Row (L-R): Director Billy Mitchell, Captain John Melzer, Captain David Ballard, Director Tim Clapp.
