Name: Mailing address: Colleyville Historical Preservation Committee In February of 1954, the two-story home of A.G. and Mabel Benedict located on McDonwell School Road, burned to the ground. (Due to lack of equipment the fire fighting volunteers including Charlie Rice, Lewis "Boots" White and others were unable to save the house.) The decision to acquire a fire engine became a priority for the citizens of Colleyville. One of these citizens, Lewis White, organized a meeting in March 1954 at the Pleasant Run School to address the necessity of acquiring funds for a fire engine to be driven by volunteers. A Fire Auxiliary was formed and the membership dues collected ($1.00 per year) were utilized in various money-raising events. The Auxiliary met once a month and its charter members were: Mabel Benedict Florence Eudaly Lauraine Rice Alverne White Mamie Foster Barbara Redding Dorothy Hutchinson Through the hard work and dedication of many residents, along with donations from E.R. Eudaly, Henry and Bessie Behrens and others, Colleyville was able to purchase it's first fire engine, a 1946 white GMC "pumper". The Volunteer Fire Department was established in 1954 and Charlie Rice was appointed the city's first Fire Chief. The first step in the process of acquiring a fire station was realized with the land donation of a 0.2 acre parcel from E.R. Eudaly, the city's first Mayor. On January 20,1955 work began on the new fire hall with the award of a contract for a new 20' by 50'concrete block building. Roy McCain wired the building and by mid-March the structure was painted. The ladies of the Auxiliary put on the finishing touches with their landscaping project and Colleyville's new Fire Hall was ready for an Open House celebration, held on March 22, 1955. The final step was the installation of a steel tower, which housed a loud siren designed to alert the volunteer firemen. The new Fire Hall served many functions for the City. It not only provided a location for the Colleyville City Hall, the council chambers, the fire and police departments; but also served as a meeting place for the community. The Auxiliary continued to raise funds for the Fire Department throughout the years and the last Auxiliary supper was held in the mid 1970's. This building was Colleyville Historical Preservation Committee replaced by a new Fire Station built on Bransford Road. At that time, Robert Bufe served as the first paid Fire Chief (1970-1975) and because of the escalating population, he commanded approximately 25 volunteer firemen for the City. ~~07 ~.IA ..
