After the February 1954 fire that destroyed the two-story home of A.G. and Mabel Benedict on McDonwell School Road, obtaining a fire engine became a priority in Colleyville. Local resident Lewis White organized a meeting at Pleasant Run School to address raising funds, and a Fire Auxiliary was formed whose monthly meetings and membership dues supported fundraising events. Its charter members were Mabel Benedict, Florence Eudaly, Lauraine Rice, Alverne White, Mamie Foster, Barbara Redding, and Dorothy Hutchinson. The Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1954, and Charlie Rice was appointed the city's first Fire Chief. Progress toward a fire station began when E.R. Eudaly, the city's first mayor, donated a 0.2-acre parcel in this vicinity. Work on the new fire hall, a 20' by 50' concrete block building, began on January 20, 1955, and the structure was completed by mid-March. The women of the Auxiliary finished the landscaping, and the new fire hall was opened for a celebration on March 22, 1955. A steel tower with a siren was then installed to alert volunteer firemen. The building served as Colleyville Town Hall, housed the council members and fire department, and functioned as a community meeting place. The Auxiliary continued raising funds for the Fire Department for years, with its last supper held in the mid 1970's. The building was later replaced by a new fire station on Bransford Road, and Robert Bufe served as the first paid Fire Chief from 1970 to 1975.
