Brunswick Fire Company Roots Traced From 1910 Founding
The Brunswick Fire Company’s history from its 1910 formation to incorporation in 1917 is outlined along with key leaders and equipment milestones. It covers early hand drawn gear, the 1923 American LaFrance 750 gpm pump, the 1939 Ford Howe pump, hall construction completed in 1951, and debt-free status aided by local supporters. The piece notes later equipment additions, mottoes, and the company’s rise to Central Alarm Company No. 5 within Frederick County.
