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.
The company presently owns a 1996 Seagrave 1250 GPM
pumper, a 1973 Mack 1000 GPM pumper, a 1950 Mack 750 GPM pumper,
a 1985 Chevrolet 4WD support truck with plow, and a 14 foot rescue
boat.
