Department History
Company #4
The growth of the town gradually moved eastward and, in 1948, a sportsman
organization in the Willow Point area purchased a 1923 American LaFrance
pumper from Binghamton for $207. At the time of purchase, there was
no building erected to house the pumper. The men appealed to the Hazard
Lewis Dairy and were given permission to house the truck in one of the
dairy's barns. This company, known as Company Number Four
was officially incorporated on November 7, 1949.
| In 1952, land was purchased, and a station was build by
the town on the Vestal Parkway East at the corner of Earl Road. |
 |
The four companies were separate organizations until, on July 14, 1952,
they combined to form the Vestal Fire
Department.
