My F.D. had it's Centennial back in 1997. Since then I've been to several Centennial celebrations for surrounding F.D's. I was surprised to find out that some area F.D's are only 50 years old or so, some are even younger! Just curious how old everyone else's F.D's are. I'm sure there's some Departments on the east coast that are getting close to their Bi-centennial.

I believe our department was started in 1911. They purchased a double 35 gallon chemical engine with full equipment from the Eureka Fire Hose Company in 1913 this was our first engine. The first manufactured pumper was a new 1927 Amarican LaFrance that was in service from 27 through 1966. We still have this truck.
