About Us
History
- Sanctioned by the town board in April 1940 and incorporated by the State Fire Association, this group of volunteer firefighters, under the leadership of their first Chief Nelson Houck, and first President Ray Shotz, held their meetings at the town hall and then at 3030 Panama Street until their own hall was built in 1951 on Lockport Road
- In 1941, Active Hose owned a Larabee firetruck with a 400 gallon water tank. As soon as funds were available, a tanker was purchased. In 1946 a tanker truck with a 1,275-gallon capacity was added to the equipment and six years later a John Beam combination high-pressure and volume truck was purchased. Another truck of this type was added in 1955.
- Active Hose Fire Company purchased their own equipment with funds received from the town ($24,000 a year).
