Firemen at the Atkinson Volunteer Fire Department fire up the barbeque pit Saturday morning in preparation for the spring barbeque fundraiser. The department has been cooking chicken and pork each spring and fall since the department began in 1964. The Atkinson VFD sells over 500 plates during each fundraiser. Monies raised are used for equipment and general operating expenses.
