Niagara Hose Company #6 was incorporated in 1913, the evolution 
of a group known as the “Sprinklers.” A plot of land at High and 
Dewey Streets was donated, and a house was built. The company 
acquired its first motorized apparatus in 1916, and served through 
three wars.

In 1962, the Company was required to relocate a short distance 
down High Street, to make way for highway construction. The 
move was accomplished smoothly, with groundbreaking taking place 
for the current firehouse while plans for the highway were still being 
drawn.
