The bell that hangs on the front of Station #1 today, was one of two bells purchased to notify volunteer firefighters of a fire via alarm in the station. The first bell purchased is now at Heritage Park and the second bell, the heavier of the two, was purchased due to the growth of the community and the need to sound a louder alarm. This bell symbolizes the progress, courage, fun and sentiment of yesteryear and the hopes of tomorrow.
