History of Lightning Engine Company 1

“The Start of a Legacy” On April 27^th, 1965, twenty-one firemen gathered at fire headquarters for the purpose of organizing a company. Of the men in attendance, Reginald Wilkinson was selected to be the Captain with Daniel Goodman as the Lieutenant. Drivers were assigned as follows; 3-15-1: Michael Marolla and Frederick Asbell, 3-15-2: John Hall and Manuel Dieppa, 3-15-4: Killian Langsdorf and Robert Lawless. The company training officer was Robert Walther and the By-Laws committee consisted of Frederick Asbell, Frank Varrone, and Lt. Daniel Goodman. At the conclusion of this, the first official company meeting, the group was to be referred to as “Company A.”

On May 25^th, 1965, Captain Wilkinson called to order the second official company meeting. At this meeting, possible names for the company were brought to the floor by the membership. The suggestions were Protection Engine Company, Union Engine Company, Pioneer Engine Company, Empire Engine Company, and Lightning Engine Company. A motion was made by Lieutenant Goodman and seconded by Nathaniel Granger for the name to be Lightning Engine Co. 1. It was voted on and passed by the members and is now our history.
