Hook and Ladder co. #1 was organized on October 7, 1907. At that time
they had no apparatus
so it is presumed they helped Engine Co.#1 in pulling it's hose cart. In

apparatus was purchased for $350.00.
It was replaced in 1917 with a Maxim hook and ladder.
In 1931 a more modern Maxim was purchased.
