Liberty Twp. Fire Department Early Days
In 1948, the Department was housed at 44 N. Liberty St. in an old garage which had been part of George Sharp's filling station. A new oil furnace, toilet, shower and two stalls for trucks were added. The building stands today next to the Powell Cemetery. The first ambulance was an old Buick hearse purchased from the DeVore Funeral Home in Sunbury. The 1955 photo includes: row 1: Don Tuller, Dick Kirkham and Andy Anderson and row 2: Bill Muladore, Chief Fred Reeves, and Gene Hess.
