The Adams Fire
Department is nearly 200
years old. Originally it
consisted of three
separate companies which
together formed the
Adams Fire Department.
The Tempest Engine
Company and the Hook and
Ladder Company were
housed in the building
on Liberty Street which
is currently occupied by
the China Wok Chinese
restaurant.
The Star Hose Company
was housed in a single
bay wooden garage
located on North Main St
across from the current
fire station. That
building was moved and
is still in use as a
garage behind the
residence of Dr. Jean
Hafner at 16 E. Church
St . The three
individual companies
each held separate
meetings and then came
together and held a
joint meeting as the
Adams Fire Dept. Some
time about 60 years ago
the separate company
meetings were dropped
and all business was
done by the combined
organization.
