SAVE OUR HISTORIC FIREHOUSE COMMITTEE

FAIRBORN, OH

The Save Our Historic Firehouse Committee is a non-profit organization based in Fairborn, Ohio, dedicated to preserving the historic firehouse located in the city's downtown area. The committee was formed in response to a proposal by the city to demolish the firehouse and replace it with a new facility.

The firehouse, which was built in 1954, is a significant landmark in Fairborn's history and has been used by the city's fire department for over 60 years. It is also the last remaining firehouse of its kind in the city.

The committee is made up of concerned citizens, business owners, and local officials who believe that the firehouse is an important part of the city's heritage and should be preserved for future generations. The committee's mission is to raise awareness about the importance of the firehouse, and to gather support and funding for its preservation.

The committee has organized numerous events and fundraising campaigns over the years, including a successful petition drive that garnered over 1,000 signatures in support of saving the firehouse. The committee has also received donations from local businesses and individuals, as well as grants from state and national organizations.

Thanks to the efforts of the Save Our Historic Firehouse Committee, the city of Fairborn has agreed to preserve the firehouse, and it is now being used as a community center and museum. The committee continues to work to ensure that the firehouse remains a vital part of Fairborn's history and culture.
