[Pound Ridge Fire Department - Westchester County, NY In the early thirties the need of a fire company was often discussed wherever the townsfolk of Pound Ridge gathered. It was in August of 1933 a committee composed of Vernon Bailey, Robert Bender, and Mott Pettit of the Trinity Pass Association called an organizational meeting at the Town Hall. Mr. Bailey served as chairman, thirty-two men were present who signified their willingness to become firemen and on that day the 25th of August the Pound Ridge Volunteer Fire Department was born.]
