In 1947, the village trustees were Lloyd Scotchmer, Mel Davidson and Jack Sturgeon Sr. They purchased a pump and motor in Goderich which later was turned over to the Fire Association by "the Council. Over the years, there have been many additions to the equip- ment. A cistern with a 3,000 gallon capacity was constructed and a City of London used fire truck was purchased in 1968. The original vehicle had been a four-wheel drive army truck costing $800 with a 500 gallon tank mounted on it which was dug out of the ground at the Bayfield,Garage with picks and shovels. It was kept in the Mackenzies' unheated garage (now the Clifts). To keep the water from freezing in xe tank a Quebec heater, then a space heater and finally an oil furnace was used. These were fired by Ted Mack, Les Elliott, and later Walter Westlake. Finally, land was leased for 100 years and an old building was purchased from Lloyd Scotchmer for $100. and the lumber used from it to build a firehall for which the new doors bought in -1959 cost $540. - Initially, an appelu .4foxi` 4, w funds was made and the first donation was from W.R. Jowett for $1,000. Fund raising events followed, carnivals and dances and grants from Goderich and Stanley townships have financed the Association.
