Our Story:
In January, 1926, a large card party was held at the Graham Homestend in Pompton Falls, for the benefit of the Pompton Falls Fire Company. At this gathering the needs of a Women's Auxiliary was discussed, and in March, 1926, through the efforts of Miss Isabella Graham and her sisters, a preliminary meeting was held at the Fire House. Officers were elected and a committee appointed to draft a set of By-Laws to conform with those used by the Fire Company.

Miss Isabella Graham was unanimously chosen president. Her death, in less than a year, was a great loss to the organization. The unexpired term was filled in by Mrs. Mitchell Dawes, who was first vice-president. Following her, were Miss Sarah Graham, Mrs. Armstrong, who served for three years; then Mrs. Durgy, Mrs. Robertson and Mrs. Cook and in 1938, Mrs. Cooper was elected to that office and is still active.

The other offices besides the president, are vice-president, secretary, treasurer, financial secretary and three trustees. All of these offices have had changes during the thirteen years the auxiliary has been active except the treasurer. Mrs. William Steele has held that office from the day of the organizing to the present time.

Our activities have been mainly to raise money to help the Fireman, and also to serve at the annual clambakes and at the turkey dinners, which are held twice a year.

Every year in December, a Christmas party for all members of the auxiliary is held, either at the fire house or at the home of a member. Between Christmas and New Years the fireman and their wives join the ladies and their husbands for an Annual Hobby Party at the fire house.
