Our History |
In the early 1900's Raymond bought a fire cart that was pulled by hand and later mounted on a Model-T pickup classic.A better Model-A Ford truck was purchased later. When donations dropped off, care and maintenance of equipment also stopped. When a fire occurred, the truck battery was run down and had to be pulled to start it. A fire district was then formed, and money was then raised through taxes. Better equipment was then purchased.The Fire District was established in 1947 and the first two-stall fire barn was built in 1948. As time went on, the need for larger and more sophisticated equipment required larger quarters.
A new building with four stalls and a meeting room was dedicated in October of 1975. The fire barn was located at First and County Road 670. Additional features have been added from time to time to update the building. The Raymond Fire Department is now located at 4210 W Raymond Rd in a new 6 drive through bay steel building that was built in 2009. The District has an excellent fleet of fire and rescue equipment along with a Dive-boat. The members are trained in Crash Injury Management, Fire Fighter Fire Aid, C.P.R., Basic Life Support, Scuba Diving, and Jaws of Life. |
