Named in the 1878 county history

The history of Wayne County was published 14 years before the first of these atlases, and it names this establishment.

From that small beginning awa}^ back in 1827 has come the efficient department of the twentieth century. The present department, under city control, has a paid chief and two drivers, but the twenty men who respond to the fire alarm are men-about-town, who work at other employment days and sleep in the City Hall in rooms prepared for them especially, and for their services they get forty cents per hour when at fires. The engine house is within the municipal building, occupying two floors for the men and apparatus, A Gamewell system of alarms is in operation here.

Provenance

Read by machine from the printed index of the Sanborn fire insurance atlases of Wooster, Ohio, held by the Library of Congress. Sanborn atlases published before 1930 are in the public domain. Only names that at least three of four independent readings agreed on are published, and no spelling has been corrected: what appears here is what the recogniser returned from the ink.
