In 1934, the Fire District purchased a one room school house across the street from Huth and Harlem Road, or on the west side of Harlem Road from the school district. This building was remodeled and a truck room addition was planned to house the first fire truck.

While in the one room school house, the truck room addition wasn't completed on time and the truck had to be kept in a barn which was owned by Tony Rost. This picture was donated to the fire department by little Anthony Rost (seen in the drivers seat). The truck was a 500 G.P.M. pump installed on the front end of a Ford Chassis.
