Overview

The fire department began in 1825. The department was organized in 1833, and consisted of 17 members. In 1840, they built an engine house. And in 1872, they purchased another engine to supplement the 1825 equipment. In 1946, the current organization was incorporated.

Building Stages

  • 1840: Built a new engine house. Believed to be eastern part of Peterboro
  • 1900s: fire house on Peterboro. Later became a NAPA Auto parts store. Siren could still be seen on the roof for decades.

  • 200[5] Built a large addition on site of and replacing Judson house. Now room for 10-12 apparatus.
