On March 9, 1950, an open meeting was held at the Cossayuna School house. Over $1,500 had been pledged for fire equipment by members of the community. Upon motion it was voted to form a Fire Department.
The land on which a fire house was to be erected was donated by Mrs. Josephine Johnson. Money subscriptions were taken to outfit the Fire Department. The lumber for the fire house was donated as well as many hours of labor in its erection. A bank loan was made to purchase needed equipment. The department got some remuneration from the towns of Argyle and Greenwich, but the chief source of revenue was the annual carnival which was held at Kincaid’s.
