Truck, personnel top fire department list By Gail Peckler-Dziki CORRESPONDENT
The times are changing and with it, so do the needs of the Antioch community and the equipment needed by the Antioch Fire Department. The Antioch Joint Fire Committee recently discussed needs that should be planned for and met in a three-year period.

Illinois Department of Health and will be ready soon. A ladder truck is currently up for sale and, as Nixon explained to the committee at the Feb. 17 meeting, the best replacement is a quint combination pumper truck. According to Nixon, this truck is smaller and more easily maneuvers through subdivision roads and has five functions: pump, water tank, fire hose, aerial device, and ground ladders. The ladder truck, Nixon

explained, is needed for a community with five-story buildings. The ladder on the ladder truck is 102 feet and the ladder on the quint is 75 feet, so this better serves needs in the Antioch community. A tanker is needed with the ladder truck and together those cost $1.2 million. The quint costs about $750,000 and serves both purposes. Nixon also explained that

just inside the main door. The lower level contained offices that would be used over the years for a variety of organizations. Prior to the building of Memorial Hall, Village Board meetings were held either at the Richmond Bank Building or in the office of the Richmond Gazette, the village newspaper. In 1908, Memorial Hall became the official home for village board meetings. That was also the year the local high school began to use the auditorium for physical education classes. By 1930, for the school to use the auditorium space for basketball games, renovations were needed to make the court regulation size and to add showers. The renovations were completed without expense to the village due to a grant received by the school. With the completion of the renovations, the stage had been reduced in size as well as the dressing rooms and the balcony had also been reduced in size so as not to extend over the basketball court. For many years, the auditorium was the home of a popular touring company, the J. B. Routnar Players. This group was well known throughout Wisconsin and northern Illinois for its production of family entertainment. Melodramas, popular from the 1920s to the 1940s, were among some of their most loved performances. The stage curtain was a unique affair on which local businesses could have an advertisement hand-painted. The advertisers paid $1 per week for their ads. Memorial Hall has been the home of almost every organization found in Richmond through the years. The village clerk’s office was on the lower level, as was the police department. New facilities have since been built as the village has grown. Until 1930 two jail cells on the lower level were available for police use. The American Legion, the senior citizens
