Our First Fire Engine

RFD1

 
The Volunteer Fire Department was organized in 1894. Here is  a “Bucket Brigade” pictured with the first real fire engine purchased in 1926. An addition to the old Village Hall, built to accommodate the locally built Nott Universal Fire Truck was completed the same year. The purchase resulted in lower fire insurance rates all over town.
