History

The Canada Hose Company Building was built after a major fire in Cumberland, which destroyed over 70 buildings in the area. Though Cumberland had a fire company prior, it was only after the fire that they built the building and upgraded the equipment. Before the fire, the company had been meeting in a shed. ^[3]
