Fire Department History
We are here gathered to dedicate this building in Silver City.
This building represents the spirit of concern upon the part of
many people for the conservation of our homes, the conservation
of the forest and the beauty only God can create.
Rev. C.J. Seamans September 12, 1964. Dedication ceremony for
newly built fire station in Silver City.
Creation of a new department
Department with the acquisition of a military surplus vehicle
donated by GF&P. The station was built in 1964 using a leftover
concrete slab from the bridge as the structure's roof. Community
participation was very positive with 50 people attending the
buildings dedication.
In the late 1970's, a second bay was added to the fire station to
house a second truck. Once again, the community pitched in with
labor and materials to build the additions. In the early 1990's a
third bay was added on the north side of the building, to
complete the building as it stands today.
Fire District
The Silver City Fire District is comprised of 42 square miles
covering the town of Silver City, a small section of Hwy 385, a
section of the Rochford Road, and very rugged forest service
terrain. There are around 150 homes located within the fire
district.
