Notes regarding the Fire Dept
Notes reveal that the Fire Department did not want an Auxiliary in the early days. Also the result of two big fires in town, one including the Rowardian Hotel, convinced the department that they needed better equipment. In 1938 they added a merit system to get firefighters to come to drills.
