The Baldwin Historical Society brings you another trivia question that delves into our area's colorful past. Pat Lombardi and Patty Woehler, co-presidents of the society, generously write the questions and provide the pictures.
Here is this week's question:
This volunteer fire company was incorporated in 1923.
Its first piece of equipment was a hose wagon that had to be pulled by the company's members to the scene of a fire.
A 1959 LaFrance fire truck was the fighters' fifth piece of equipment. The open cab vehicle proved to be a challenge to drive in the rain and snow.
