ca. 1943. During the Second World War, civilian defense councils were established across the nation. Through the establishment of the Fircrest Home Defense Council, the first Fircrest Volunteer Fire Department , shown here, was organized in 1943. A Chevrolet truck has been equipped as a fire truck and Wood Freeman was selected as the town's first fire chief.
