Anderson Historic
Fire Station
Originally constructed in 1903 on this site
as a two-story building, the Anderson Fire
Station was completed for a cost of $90
for used lumber and nails.
Initial firefighting equipment included
twelve buckets, four axes, three sections of
hose and a horse drawn hose cart. The first
motorized fire equipment purchased for the
station was a 1924 Dodge chemical truck,
which was sold for scrap for the war effort
in 1943. This was replaced by the 1941
and 1946 Van Pelt trucks, which are still
housed in the station.
