Tradition
A long standing history of volunteerism helped transition what the fire service is today. One of the earliest volunteer associations in the Tillamook area dates back to the late 1800's. Historical records document the Wide Awake Hook & Ladder Company as the first formailized Volunteer Association operating in the City of Tillamook.
Fire departments in the early years were operated by Volunteer Associations. There were no formal agreements, city governments, organized districts, tax revenue, and limited equipment. Women were non existent in the service and a strong competivie force of men from the local community provided the fire suppression labor force with immense courage.
Early Associations not only provided the much needed fire suppression labor force, they also provide a social point of contact.
