Here is some info currently on the Lafayette County Website: "In 1898, the fire department formed a racing team and entered state and national competitions. In 1924, the Lafayette team broke the world record in the wet test using a hose cart with a time of 27 seconds. The wet test consisted of pulling the hose cart down the street for 600 feet, connecting a hose to a fire hydrant, stretching out the hose and shooting a target."
