On Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 the Nottingham Fire Company stood by during a flag burning ceremony at Veterans Park. The service was sponsored by Mercer County and included the local veterans groups. The retiring of the colors went off without a hitch and require no services from the fire company. Crews stayed until the flags were completely burned out. Engines 17 and 17-2 along with Tower 17 were on hand just in case.
