1943 ~ Negotiations took place with architect Robert Carter for the design of a new firehouse, resulting in the building of today’s firehouse, which was completed on South Main Street for $65,000 in 1948. The first floor of this building had 4 large stalls for housing fire trucks. The second floor contained a large meeting room, restroom, kitchen, and Chief’s office. The boiler room and alarm system room were in a separate annex building. During construction of the new fire headquarters Chief Mark Holbrook was killed while assisting with clearing of the land. The building was, and is, dedicated to his memory.
