Waterloo Fire History Shows Volunteer Roots and Modern Growth

Waterloo's history of firefighting traces the first volunteer company formed in 1841 to the Red Jacket and Water Witch engines, now part of a modern department with motorized apparatus. The homecoming features display old hose carts, a hand well pump, and trophies from Walker Cadet Hose Company, noting chiefs, key members, and the city’s proud, evolving fire service.

Fire prevented at Dairy Gattie Congress exhibit booth

Morris and crew rescued the Dairy Gattie Congress grounds exhibit when decorations sparked from crossed electric wires. Within minutes three chemical extinguishers suppressed the blaze in the Gates Business College booth. Iowa State College helper A Vorkes also helped, pulling down bunting to stop flames and injuring a hand.
