Trumansburg Fire Department Roots From 1864 Blaze
The 1864 fire on Main and Union Streets and the Congress Cayuga junction left the town ruined with no fire apparatus. Citizens built line across Main Street with buckets. a hand pumper from 1847 was later used after delays and dirt hindered operation. This spurred incorporation talks that finally formed a volunteer fire company in 1872.
