Main Street

The Laurel Main Street Festival on May 8th, 2010 has been a tradition for 30 years. Starting with a parade down the approximate mile of Main Street, the street is closed for the day, allowing visitors to shop at the over 200 street vendors. The Rescue Squad, Water Rescue, Rescue Engine, Ambulances and Chiefs vehicles represented our organization in the parade. After the parade the Squad staffed a recruitment table and managed primary Fire and EMS services for the festivities.
