On April 21, 1921 the burning of the Warren House provided an inspiration for the organization of an efficient Fire Company to protect property in the Town of Warrensburg.

            On May 6, 1921 a public meeting recommended a new Fire Company should be organized.  This was done at a meeting held at the Parish Rooms on June 21, 1921 with Commissioner G.W. Dickinson presiding.  Fifteen private citizens and members of the Town Board constituted the first members of the Warrensburg Fire Co., No. 1.  The equipment consisted of the Hose Reels and nine Fire Hydrants available for use with limited water supply.  There were also two Chemical Carts.  Shortly after the organization of the Fire Company, William Ticknor assumed the position of Fire Chief, after William Condon moved out of town.  He held the office continuously until his resignation from the Fire Company in 1936.

            In 1922 a Ford truck chassis was purchased and Chief Ticknor and members of the Company built it into a Chemical and Hose Cart, using the tank from one of the old hand-drawn Chemical Carts.  A barn at the rear of the Fairland Theater was rented to store the equipment in and later purchased and remodeled by the members to provide a meeting place.
