MADISON COUNTY - The Madison County Fire Department is getting in touch with their roots.Both of players in the video just got their bagpipes Monday. They're part of a group of firemen that are putting together a pipes and drums band to honor some of the nation's fire firemen.

Firefighting deaths were common in the 1800's, and typically Irish Immigrants would fill the jobs. At the funerals of firemen, they'd play bagpipes.

Firefighter Troyce Miskin said, "A lot of people have died and sacrificed to make firefighting the profession it is today. By starting up a pipe brigade, we're honoring them, and starting to build a tradition here in Rexburg."
