When Brad Seely was a student at the old Louisburg High School in the mid-1970s, there was no sweeter sound than that of the whistle blowing atop the city water tower. That sound meant there was a fire in the city of Louisburg, but, more important, it also meant Brad and a couple of his classmates who also volunteered at the fire station were allowed to leave school. “We’d run out of class,” Brad said. At that time, the high school was located at the current site of the Wildcat Activities Center, and the fire station was located a couple of blocks away near the current site of Fox Hall. Brad started young, sitting in on volunteer training when he was just 13 years old. By the time he was 14, he was already going on calls.
