Cody Volunteer Fire Department began in 1935 with just 11 members in an old barn donated by a farmer. Cody’s early purpose was to be a service to the farmers of the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The department purchased its first fire truck, a chemical truck in 1935. In 1955, Cody moved into its present day location on County Route 55, right across the road from the barn. In 1976 Station #2 was built on Wilcox Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout its history, Cody has retired many trucks. The trucks still in use today are: 743, a TP purchased in 1993; 741, a TP purchased in 2001; 771, a Squad purchased in 2005; 711, a Rescue\/Pumper purchased in 2008; and 772, a Squad purchased in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In early 1991 Station #1 was demolished to make way for a new building that opened later that year. In 2000, a 60′ addition was added to Station #2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fire commissioners of past and present have done an outstanding job with our tax dollars as we have no dept. Everything is owned and paid for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even with the recent trend of fire departments having difficulty with recruiting, Cody is proud to have 7 new members that have joined us this year bringing our active membership to 45.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We look forward to continuing our growth and serving and dedicating ourselves to the surrounding communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
