LIVERMORE — A light will, quite literally, always shine over the Livermore Fire Department. The Centennial Bulb, the world’s longest-burning lightbulb, has been aglow in Livermore for over a century, and the city is celebrating its 122nd anniversary in the new year. It’s something that Livermore takes pride in, having been awarded a Guinness World Record for the bulb.
The bulb, located at Fire Station #6 on 4550 East Ave., has also been the subject of a documentary and a book, and it has its own committee. You can even buy replicas of the bulb on its website, centennialbulb.org, visit it on a tour, and watch a livestream of it from
