were all of a mechanical bent of mind i imagine that joseph sr who was a machinist was the btrpderof ow ouurver the first fire engine that i can find any trace ot though someone mentions that there was an earlier and smaller engine than this one i it was a boxlike affair mounted on four wheels and with a wheel with a handle on each side whereby four men could work it and thus drive a stream of water against- the flames through hose made of leather and joined with copper rivets this hose wa very heavy and not very pliable this engine had no suction pipe and water had to be carried in palls and emptied into the box the last stage of this engine was pathetic if tradition can be believed a are occurring in qlen williams it was hauled there and whether it proved of no avail or not i do not know but instead of hauling it back to its native heath they drowned it in the deepest part of the village pond no one is left to tell the tale of the personnel of that fire department but the legend is that james hlggms was captain in the eighteen seventies the rescue was purchased a hand engine with a wooden handle on each side at which twenty men could furnish the power and laborious work it surely was for the writer recneanberi pumping his insldes out at the fire which consumed the exchange hotel where mr mcgtbbons now stands quite a number of large cisterns were sunk at convenient points where water was no available and these were filled from the roofs of nearby buildings if a dry season occurred then they had to be replenished bf filling them from the pond on the west side of main st where the electric road runs our hick and ladder wagon was of home manufacture built by culp ac mckrnzie a formerly well known firm of carriage builders in the seventies and it speaks well for their workmanship that it is still doing duty if required after sixty years of service tlls engine and ladder wagon furnished protection under the chlefshlp of doctor m h starr h h spiers and mark maw until the installation of the waterworks in 1891 the llose reel company and the hook and ladder company wen two separate organizations but were amalgamated upon the com pletion of the waterworks as our hose reel and hook and ladder companies wee always run on a volunteer basis it is needles to add that nearly every ablebodied man in oeorgetown was a member at some time or other during his llfettme another interesting fact is that there are three men still living who served under the chlefshlp of doctor starr in the late seventies viz john taylor james hickey living here and james- litster of oak- vllle if there are others i am not aware in 1800 it was thought our fire fighting apparatus was not suffi cient to cope with a fire in the business section of the village and a steam engine was suggested the reeve called a public meeting in the town hall and a representative of the waterous engine co of brant- ford and mr ronald of brussels were present after listening to each man extolling bhe merits of their respec tive engines it was decided to purchase the brantford one but the next day there was a revulsion of opinion for mr ronald in looking over the situation stated that oeorgetown had the best are protection right at it doorstep namely silvercneek and thus was born their waterworks system which is really a monument to the late jos barber jr a councillor at that time and who gave practically all his time to superintending the installation of the same mr james warren of walkerton was the engineer following the installation of the waterworks the fire brigade has kept pace with the times the old hose reels drown by man power have been replaced by an uptouate motor fire truck with complete equipment owing to the growth of the town an additional water supply was installed in 1922 at a co t of tsoooo and today oeorgetown has one of the best fire protection systems in the dominion chiefs of the brigade who have succeeded those previously men tioned were messrs
