Our History
As 1955 drew to a close, Chief Dominic Santoro saw the need for a fourth engine company in the district. To staff the new company, 9 men transferred from other companies, led by our first captain, Anthony Butera. On May 21, 1956, 13 new applicants were sworn in and Engine Co. 1 was born.
