Sank Centre has not had fire that approached
ccnflagration since the very early $685. There have
been blazes which have been costly, serious and
threatening to surrounding property but invariably
the flames have been confined within the walls where
they originated No human life has been lost
through fire in the history of the CITY, What higher
tribute than the above be paid to the efficiency
of the Sank Centre Fire Department?
From village bucket brigade the department
has kept growth with the city until the fire
fighting facilities of Sank Centre today unquestion
ably excel those of any other city of the same size
and population in the Northwest.
In the last month there has been added to the
equipment of the department $4,000 motor driven
combination chemical, hose and ladder truck which
can be propelled with load of dozen iremen from
the fire hall to any point in the city in five minutes
This apparatus alone carries equipment enough to
cope with any ordinary fire in the residence dis
tricts In addition to vastly increasd speed the
old hand-drawn vehicles, the auto truck will deliver
simultaneously at the fire men, chemical hose, lad
ders and other paraphernalia for fire fighting.
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1915-11-04

it is expected that with the fire wagon the losses
will reach the ultra minimum. The apparatus is
manned by volunteer force of 81 men, the maxi
mum membership being fixed at 60, and the present
officers follows: Chief, Joseph W. Kusba; 1st
Asst. Chief, E. A. Richards; End. Asst Chief, Ever

A. F. Strebel.
Sank Centres first fire department was organized
in 1866 when the town but frontier post. There
were % men in the company and of the number only
three are now living-Ignatius Reichard of Long

Only recently Mr. Capser presented to the present
department of the old hooks souvenir. The
original company held weekly practice in bucket
passing and ladder climbing and became extremely
proficient. The headquarters of the company

kept This organization continued for about eight
years and then disintegrated as the various men,
bers left the city.
In 1883 the burning of the old steam mill the
Third street crossing of the Great Northern tracks
demonstrated lack of fire fighting organization and
several weeks following that blaze meeting was
held in the Herald office, then Third street, and
a second bucket brigade organized with men,

man and John Sheppard was secretary John Ker-
neghan was member of that organization and
he is member of the present department therefore
is also the oldest active fireman in the city.
In 1884 the first waterworks system was built,
power being furnished by the mill dam. With a
source of fire protection thus afforded steps
taken to organize large force and equip them with
real apparatus. Joseph Capser was then a member
of the city council and he fathered the scheme He
laughingly relates that when he proposed
appropriation of $4OO to buy hose reel he was
nearly lynched However he gained his point the reel
was purchased and the present Acme company was

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CONGREGATION

About three years ago those interested in Christian
Science in Sank Centre met in of their homes,
at which time it arranged that regular Christian
services be held each Sunday morning, at the hour
of 10:45 a. m.
Early in 1914 organization was formed known
as the Christian Science Society of Sank Centre,
and later in the year. owing to the increase in at
tendance of the meetings, arrangements were made
and the rooms the First National Bank on Main
street were secured and fitted up place for hold

Prior to the election of Chief Kusba this spring,
Mr.. Fish had held the post for eleven consecutive
years and during his entire service the department
kept at top notch and made enviable record.
Chief Kusba is Sank Centre boy, having been
born in Raymond township Sept. A. 1878, the
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Kusba, and is youngest in
point of years of the men who have commanded the
department. He educated in the public schools
and has always remained here. From early manhood
he engaged in the meat business either in business
for himself associated with others He has been
member of the department since 1900 and for
number of years when Mr.. Fish chief he served
as first assistant, many times being given opportun
ty in that capacity to demonstrate his fire fighting
abilities and control over Since his incumben-
cy the new auto truck has been acquired and spec
ial alarm system in the home of every fireman has
been installed which is set in operation by down
town apparatus of easy access and which automa-
tically tolls the fire bell. He is member of the
Commercial Club, Fair Association and Modern
Woodmen of America. He is married and has one
daughter.
