On this site in 1949 the volunteers of the Middlebury Volunteer Fire Department, using donated and salvaged materials, built a fire station on land donated by the Vaszauskas family.
Pictured are the original 1941 Ford LaFrance, 1947 International tanker and 1928 Hahn City service ladder truck.
Prior to this time the Ford was kept in a gas station across the street and the tanker in a barn at Judd's corner. Today, a memorial garden has been developed on this site.
