Members of the volunteer Fire Company with ladders and buckets swarming over the I. N. Keith and E.H. Lothrop shoe factory. In 1884 the Elmwood Company had 40 rubber buckets which the town purchased. Prior to this time, leather buckets were used, one being kept in each home. Elmwood was "way out ahead" of the village (meaning the center of East Bridgewater) with its concern about fire protection.
