This entrepreneurial enterprise netted enough capital to build a new fire hall, acquire a fire truck, and restore the jail.
In 1949, a volunteer fire department was established and a fire truck was purchased.
These include a fire truck (complete with ladder) and a bus.
Also, medical equipment must be carried by the fire truck, reducing storage space for some firefighting equipment.
Activities include a 911 teaching phone, child size firefighting gear, childrens pole and fire truck, and a touch cart full of real firefighting tools.
Meanwhile, the police were getting ready to bring out the fire truck hoses.
The fire truck was brought to the scene while members were en route.
A total of 500 to 600 residences were affected, along with numerous businesses; while several vehicles (including a fire truck) were also tossed some distance.
