Peterborough Firehall 1908-1979 In 1908, the Peterborough Fire Brigade was replaced by the professional Peterborough Fire Department. This transition was marked by the opening of a new firehall on Aylmer street - the first building erected for the exclusive use of the city's firefighters. It was demolished in 1979 to make way for the construction of the present Peterborough Public Library. Pumper No. 1 is a 1927 American LaFrance in service with the Peterborough Fire Department from 1927 to 1956.
