Candor Fire Station - Firehouses on Waymarking.com

"Candor's fire district covers 95 square miles including both the Village and Town of Candor. The main Candor fire station is just outside the village. There are two sub-stations, one located in the Catatonk area of the district and one between the village of Candor and Willseyville. The Catatonk sub-station houses an engine and the Willseyville sub-station houses a tanker. The sub-stations allow us to provide better response times and service to the fire district."

"Candor Emergency Squad provides EMS in our coverage area."

"Shortly after the Village of Candor incorporated in 1900, there were two fire companies in Candor. Hose Company #2 changed their name in 1907 to the Alert Hose Company. It was located at 7 Mill Street in Candor Center."
"For over 50 years the two companies enjoyed a bit of rivalry at many town events. The two hose companies took great pride in their role in the community and their respective fraternal organizations. They marched in parades, gave exhibitions, held field days, sponsored social events and fund-raisers and at different times formed bands, organized athletic associations and fielded ball teams. Their ‘friendly’ rivalry was a unique feature of Candor’s social scene."

"To help raise more funds, the Fire Company held various events such as flea markets and yard sales. These fund-raising efforts were the start of the Ladies Auxiliary for the Candor Fire Department."
