The primary objective of the Auxiliary is to provide the Fire Company with whatever is needed for it to succeed at its mission. The role of the original Ladies’ Auxiliary as suppliers of coffee and refreshments at the scenes of fires and other major emergencies was an offshoot of the original purpose of the group. In 1989 the Ladies Auxiliary opened its doors to allow men to join and changed its name to simply, “Auxiliary.” Today the Auxiliary exists in full force and provides well-appreciated services to the Fire Company, whether by supporting members at emergencies or participating in important fund raising activities.
