Regarding Reliance Hose Company No. 3. The Reliance Hose Company No 3 firehouse was built in 1891. The volunteer fire fighters used either horse-drawn or man-drawn pumpers. In 1915 Grass Valley got its first motor truck which was purchased by Reliance Hose Company No 3. In 1916 the two neighboring companies, Protection Hose and Eagle Hose purchased their first motor trucks and the horse-drawn equipment was retired.
