Heiman Fire Equipment’s main office takes over the Heiman household. The dining room table in Jack and Helen Heiman’s home in Ashton, IA served as the original main office of Heiman Fire. Soon, the company took over the garage as well. Later, the expanding family and business moved to a larger home next door, and the office transferred to an upstairs bedroom. The backyard shed became the warehouse. As the business grew, the office and warehouse moved to downtown Main Street, into the former home of Jack’s mother, Irene Heiman.
