This weekend I was at the Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Society for a meeting. I find myself there every now and then, and though the meetings I attend are always held in the same room, I am constantly discovering new sights around me.
During my most recent visit, I looked over at the collection of fire station badges and one town’s name caught my eye: Brockton. I have kin from Brockton, Georgia, and the coincidence made me chuckle. Of course, there is a very good chance the Brockton of the badge is a different township from the one I know. But I like to think it’s the same, and since no one was there to tell me otherwise, I’m going with my take on it.
The meetings I attend there are sporadic, at best, but I do recommend a visit to the L.A. Fire Museum. It’s fascinating. Can’t wait to see what I find next.
