The Guinness World Record-breaking Centennial Bulb has lit the way for Livermore’s firefighters for 122 years.
. “The oldest known working lightbulb has become an enduring symbol of the American spirit of invention,” wrote former President George W. Bush in a letter in 2001. The letter was sent to the organizers of an event celebrating the centenary of the bulb that year.
“Every firefighter has to learn all about it because there’s so many visitors. I would even go in on my days off to give tours; all of the firefighters would.” “I got a phone call at about 5 a.m. and a firefighter said ‘Chief, you have to get down here.’ I had been retired for about five years at the time,” Bramell said. “I was on the way over, and I told them to bypass the Unlimited Power System we had installed to it and connect it straight to power. By the time I got there, it was back on, and it was brighter than I’d ever seen it.”
