Fire Dept History
In the early spring of 1948 a group of Concord residents raised $925.00 to start the Concord Fire Department. The first Chief of the newly established fire department was Ernest L. Spear. Clifford Webster served as Assistant Chief and Robert A. Welk was the Secretary and Treasurer. The first fire truck was a 1930 Model AA truck with a modified chassis. AT the September 8, 1948 Concord Trustees meeting the following men were appointed to the position of firemen: Earl Ehrhardt, Ernest Spear Jr. Gust Pontoni, Tom McMasters, Howard Sarbach and Donald Webster. Compensation for one year was one dollar, which covered the cost of Workman’s Compensation for each fireman. At the same meeting the Trustees approved spending $300 for Fire Protection for one year.
