The Fire Company was started in February of 1929 by way of the donation, by the Eggertsville Fire Company, of an old hand reel which was kept in a garage at 120 Dupont Avenue.
In the fall of 1929 the Hose Company purchased a second-hand Reo from the Painted Post Fire Company for $400.00 and kept it outside at 141 Dunlop Avenue in the summer and rented a garage at 129 Dunlop Avenue.
The name of the Fire Company at that time was The Sheridan Drive Hose
The first Pumper was a Stewart, purchased for $4,000.00 in the fall of 1929 from the Young Fire Equipment Company. In 1936 the Dodge was purchased, and in 1947 the Buffalo.
The first working fire for the Company was Miller’s Farm at Kenmore Avenue and Sheridan Drive. It was an all night fire.
Today the Volunteer Fire hall stands at 738 Sheridan Drive in Tonawanda.
