"In 1966 the fire service in Johnson City consisted of a 64 man fire department. The JCFD manned three stations, Central Station was located in center of the Village, Station 2 was located on the north side of the Village and Station 3 was located on the south side of the Village. During this time the three stations responded to all fire calls with at least three engine companies and one truck company...During the next twenty years (1966-1986) the fire service and the Village experienced many changes The Endicott Johnson Fire Prevention ceased operation. The fire department was reduced by 19 men to a 45 man department.
