Visitors to the historic town of Port Gamble are inundated with historical elements throughout the township. Almost every building in this town contains a historical marker that highlights the history of prior occupants. Each marker stands out nicely on painted burgundy boards and gold lettering. The fire hall contains a marker on the front of the building that reads:

FIRE HALL
The fire hall building, its origin uncertain, was apparently
installed or moved between the Masonic Lodge and the
Community Hall between 1929 and 1956. The mill workers
acted as a volunteer fire department for the mill and town.
The building was converted to
a commercial use in 2001.

This building's only mention in the NRHP nomination form is in the construction dates section and says the 'Fire Station building moved to present site in 1967'. This building is within the Port Gamble Historic District and should be considered a contributing building nonetheless.
