HISTORY

When there was a fire we used to sound the air horn. All we had was a cart with buckets, it was kept in a fire hall beside the RCMP at the corner of Lakelse and Kalum.

George Little, the founder of Terrace had built the cart in the black smiths shop, but it was too heavy to pull! It took a horse or two to move it!
