Early Montana Fire Department Bell Returns to Glory
The town faced water supply challenges in its early days leading to a water wagon system for firefighting. In 1887 a bell from Helena was purchased for 100 dollars to sound alarms, freighted by bull train for about 50 dollars. The bell was restored, hung, and remains stored near the fire station with plans to honor its historic role. The State Historical Society seeks to preserve it as Montana’s first fire bell.
