The
Wilberforce Fire Department was organized in 1959 following a number
of devastating fires in the area. Volunteers of the Fire Brigade
each donated a sheet of plywood and their time to construct the
first Fire Hall to house the first fire truck.
Pictured
here are a few of the site founders:
Eric Saunders | Blake Barnes | Chuck Lindsay
Sterling Mather | Fred Taylor | Jim Anderson
Keith Tallman | Jake Mather - The First Fire Cheif.
This
original Fire Truck is still operational and is stationed in Tory
Hill for use in the Country Good Times Parade and could be used for
Brush Fires.
