The first fire engine was a 1950 Ford F-6. The District was (and continues to be) governed by a five member Board of Directors. The first members of the Board were; Hugh Preston, Ken Emerson, Fred Kern, Pete Bowman and Gus Gustafson. The District also purchased a second fire engine. In 1967, a parcel was purchased from Tom Wellik (Mr. Wellik would later become the first Ebbetts Pass Firefighter's Association Honorary Member).
In 1968, Station # 2 in Camp Connell was constructed on land purchased from "Pop" Anderson and Engine 2 was placed in the Camp Connell Battalion. 1968 also saw the purchase of property in Hathaway Pines for a future Station # 3. Chief Beaty was forced to resign due to heath reasons in 1969. John George again took over the duties until testing could be completed for a full-time Chief.
