Originally constructed on this site in 1903 as a two-story building, the Anderson Fire Station was completed at a cost of $90 for used lumber and nails. Its initial firefighting equipment included twelve buckets, four axes, three sections of hose, and a hand drawn hose cart. The first motorized fire equipment purchased for the station was a 1924 Dodge chemical truck, which was sold for scrap for the war effort in 1943. It was replaced by the 1941 and 1946 Van Pelt trucks, which are still housed in the station.
