Holland Indiana Volunteer Fire Department

Holland Indiana Volunteer Fire Department Holland Volunteer Fire Department -- Dedicated to saving lives and property in our community. To that end, H.J. Meyer, C.H. Dan Tormohlen, C.H.

The Holland Volunteer Fire Department originated from the efforts of the Holland Home Mutual Insurance Company in June 1891. The Public of Holland Indiana demanded that something be done in order to protect their property in case of fire. Meeting were held and it was resolved that a company be organized and dubbed the Holland Fire Engine Company. The HFEC would provide fire protection to those mem

bers of the fire insurance company. Rottger, and William Heilman were appointed to a committee to investigate the cost of a hand operated Fire Engine. Rottger, and August Wibbeler were appointed to form a committee to plan a picnic which would raise funds for the engine. It was decided in 1891 that a hand engine would be purchased for the sum of $245.00 from L.M. Rumsey Manufacturing Company of St.Louis MO. The engine was then shipped by rail to Huntingburg IN. It was resolved that anyone wishing to become a member of HFEC would need only pay $50 for fire insurance rather than the $100 cost required of everyone not on the Company. The 1891 L.M Rumsey Hand Pumper still exists and belongs to the present day Holland Volunteer Fire Department.
