VIDEO/PHOTOS: The Trinity Volunteer Fire Department is celebrating a major win after receiving a historical marker for the department this month. After a fire destroyed most of Downtown Trinity in the early 1900s, there was a great need for a fire department. On February 14, 1914 the trinity fire department was created.
โIn the last four or five years weโve seen an increase in calls mainly due to the population increase in our county,โ said Fire Chief Keith Johnson. Today the department has two stations and 30 members, all working to provide a service as the department has provided the past 111 years.
The historical marker sits at the main fire station on Elm Street in Trinity. Itโs located right in front of the fire departmentโs museum. Inside the museum is the departmentโs first truck, a 1915 Model T Hose Wagon, 1939 pumper truck, and a 1949 pumper truck.
