Some memories courtesy of Walter Thornberg: Mr. Rose built the current Fire House (the "front house"). James Larkin was a year-rounder who lived on Oak Walk near the bay. Ernie Grassnik was the store owner before it became Pioneer. In those days it was mostly grass fires. Before that there were many house fires from kerosine lamps and heaters.
If you would like to contribute any pictures or memories of the department in times past, please email the webmaster or call Phil at 583-8318.
