Description
The Sugar Grove Fire Protection District was organized Jun 25, 1942. The first Fire States was built on land donated by Mrs. Theresa Keck. This top photo of the Fire Fighters was taken in 1953. Delmar Krieghbaum was Fire Chief and assistant chiefs were Deverl Hartman, Groff Frantz, and Cecil Runkle.
The Fire Department moved to the north end of Main Street in August 1973. It was still a volunteer Fire Department with 35 members. It was run for many years without raising the tax rate.
Today's fire barn was first built with three bays and now has four bays. It is now on Municipal Drive just south of Route 30 at the west end of town.
Fire Deparment Delmar Krieghbaum is receiving the keys for the new pumper (Ward-LaFrance) from W.R. Keck, President of the Board of Trustees. It will be on display with the new fire house. Ken Klomhaus, a trustee and secretary and John Peterson, a trustee, are on the left. No years was on this photo.
These ten women were on call during the day when no firemen were in town during the day time. They came together as the first all woman volunteer Fire Department in Illinois.
