Becoming A Fire Department
In 1959 the Improvement Club had the people and resources to become a fire district and formed the Zoneton Volunteer Fire Department. Fish fries, raffles, and other fundraisers were used to fund the department in the early days before they became a taxing district in the 1960s.

Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or department:
“In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
“... the Department of Justice is committed to asking one central question of everything we do: What is the right thing to do? Now that can produce debate, and I want it to be spirited debate. I want the lawyers of America to be able to call me and tell me: Janet, have you lost your mind?”
—Janet Wood Reno (b. 1938)
