The fire dept number was the Walters' home phone number. They operated out of a building across from Dairy Queen, and their first fire truck was a surplus weapons carrier from the army. They had a 500 gallon water tank and a generator on a trailer behind a truck. The first house fire was on Mt. Olivet Rd., a fire behind the mantelpiece. Many of these Charter Members took money out of their own pockets to put gas in the truck.
