The History of the Olema Volunteer Fire Department
We knew very little about this volunteer fire department until recently. We know that a small barn that served as a fire station still exists on a private ranch. And, as of April 2015, thanks to West Marin Historian Dewey Livingston, we now know when and why it was formed, the first Chief, and some of the early members. See the stories below.
Thanks to West Marin Historian Dewey Livingston for finding this article and sharing in April of 2015.
Unfortunately this article was not dated, but we believe this happened in the era of the late 1940's or early 1950's.
