Auburn
well-prepared
for fire
Although Auburn is
now serviced by the Blyth
Fire Department, the
Auburn fire hall stands on
Goderich Street beside
the Bank of Commerce. A
pumper sits inside in case
it is ever needed.
The bell on top of the
fire hall originally was on
John Ferguson's
blacksmith shop, and
later on Edgar Lawson's
stable. For many years,
it was rung at meal time.
Before 1948 there were
three underground tanks
in the Village, each
holding about 350 barrels
of water. One was
situated at the east end at
the corner of Turnberry
and Goderich Streets, one
at thea west end on
Goderich Street, and the
other centrally located at
the corner of Loftus and
Goderich Streets.
In 1950, three more
tanks were installed, one.
under the fire hall, one at
the southwest end. _..at.
Alma and King Streets,
and the third at the
northeast end on County
Road 25 and Egmont
Street.
