Miscellany -A postcard from the 1970-79 era, announcing a fire department meeting. The Marion Fire Department was organized on March 6,1905. By 1978, Central Station on South Street housed two motorized trucks. The formation of the Fire Department supplanted the three earlier fire brigade sheds, located near the North Marion Grammar School (now the Baptist Church) on Front Street, on Point Road in the vicinity of Allen's Point, and near Washburn's Store in the Little Neck area (near Route 6 and Hermitage Road). Each of the brigade's sheds housed a hand-drawn pumper that carried 500 feet of 2-inch hose. |
