chief, Mr. Clayton Pfilc, by Jim
Hoffman,. the present chief.
A quote from the history: about
1918, Thomas Klumpp purchased a
Model T car;- this, fitted with a
pumper, was the first fire engine. It
was housed in a shed behind Clay-
ton Pfile's shot store.
In 1940 garage owner Irvin Rader
'Ind his mechanic Edwin Miller
built a fire engine from an old
Packard car. This was a vast im-
provement and served until 1954.
A new fire hall was officially -
opened in 1954 and a new $10 500
engine and equipment was also pur-
chased. The brigade was prepared to
make runs to both Hay and Stephen
townships. Mr. Valentine Becker
was, fire chief at this time.
Other Chiefs throughout the `years
were "Bud" Schroeder, Jim Ilayter,
Emil Becker, Gerald Martene, Har-
old Stire and Don Bender.
.On behalf of the former fireman
and their wives I congratulate the
committee on arranging the Open
House and the delicious barbecue. .
If the neighbours in the area of
the fire hall thought it rained Sun-
day afternoon about 5 p.m. they
were mistaken. The former "Oldies"
were playing with the light weight
fire hose because in their days the
hose was bigger and heavier. When
the pumper forced the water out 11
took one poor, skinny, little fellow
into the fire. Yes, boys will be
boys no matter of the age, they like
to play with the water. hose.
