The First Windham Fire Station.

So growing up, Windham was a small town, and there were only a few full time firemen. The force was supplemented by volunteers. You have to remember this was a time before cell phones and internet. Instead, there was a fire-horn, and it would blare if a fire was called in, a sign that the volunteers should head to the fire station. If I remember right, they used to write the address of the fire on a chalk board at the station. I remember going there as a kid and seeing it. Often though, with so little to do in a small town, when we would hear the horn blowing, our family would decide to pile in the car and go to the fire to watch. I can remember following the trail of water leaking from the tankers, in order to find the route to the fire. The station and addition were built thought the efforts of volunteers.
