Flag #128 - Lapel Stony Creek Fire Territory
Flag #128 | Lapel Stony Creek Fire Territory | Station 70 | 2025 | Ladder Series | Hose Origin: Lapel Stony Creek Fire Territory
Every hose has a story—and this one carries more than a century of service.
BDC Flag #128 was crafted from authentic retired 2-1/2” fire hose donated by the Lapel Stony Creek Twp. Fire Territory, whose roots trace back to 1895, when neighbors first formed a bucket brigade to protect the Town of Lapel.
From the department’s first hook and ladder in 1905, to its official recognition as the Lapel Volunteer Fire Department in 1925, to the volunteer-led effort in 1975 that established local ambulance services, this hose represents generations of firefighters answering the call for South Madison County.
This Ladder Series flag, built from 2-1/2” hose, stands as a tribute to the evolution of fire service—honoring those who served before us and ensuring their legacy continues to protect and inspire.
BDC Flag #128 is more than a flag.
It’s history. It’s service. It’s the Lapel community.
