The 20th anniversary of 9/11 is an important and somber observance for Americans and others. Terrorists attacked the United States and left many thousands of people dead, injured, or afflicted with long-term health problems. People across the country — and around the world – are still struggling to recover and understand a lifetime of loss that occurred in just a few hours on a single day. The attack was brutal and frightening, but it also brought many people together. Please join us as we honor September 11th, Patriot's Day, and the lives that were changed by it so we can continue to work toward peace, in our own lives and peace in the world.

There were 12 Charter members who took part in the organization. The Fire Company was incorporated on February 16, 1960, and on June 18, 1960 the fire company went into full operation. Our first truck was a used 1940 American LaFrance pumper. It was 500 gallon per minute pumper with a 160 gallon booster tank. The booster tank was later increased to hold 500 gallons of water.
We also purchased a Dodge truck with a 1000 gallon booster tank and a 250 gallon per minute rotary pump. A 300 gallon per minute portable pump was donated by Walker Gordon and later mounted on top of the tank of the Dodge. A 1946 Chevrolet pumper was purchased by the fire company from the Forrestal Center and reconditioned.
