Found two volunteer fire engine co’s that were on land that were either owned by/built by/or named after nearby brewery’s. Seems to be more of a coincidence than anything. Kind of cool though.

Also I heard there was a memorial open to the public about city fire department history in one of the city fire houses and was wondering if anyone has seen it? It’s not supposed to be a secret place from what I understand. I would like to check it out if anyone knows.
