1960's

1961 - Co. 5 President Ray Spencer and Captain Find Pedersen at one of the old round poker tables in the upstairs dayroom, long before the bunkroom was constructed.  The door behind Pedersen led to one of the two bedrooms for the two career firefighters who worked there.  Seventeen years later that particular bedroom was expanded into a four-bed bunkroom.
