                                  PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE WE BUILD

We all have important values and ideas, things we care about and want to share. Sometimes we feel our ideas can even change the community that we live in, and we want to let other people know how they can join in and make all our lives better.

This site will present our organization's cause or ideas to the world. As communicating isn't always easy, we'll try to include photos and images that convey our message (remember, a well-chosen picture is a great way to get a point across). We'll also include specific information about our organization and its members, so no one forgets the people behind the pictures.

On this home page, we'll introduce our cause or message. We'll also try to include a picture or two that represents the kind of work we do.

Brief History of the Department

November 11, 1950 The Town of Dekalb Mississippi had a very destructive fire that could have wiped out all of the business buildings and residents  on  block # 5 had not the Meridian Fire Department,  who sent several of their trucks. As it was the fire was confined to The Rex Theater and Burton's Drug Store which were completely burned out. Only the walls were left standing. This was a great loss to the business owners.
 
December 5, 1950..........................................
