Comstock's
first fire truck was a 1933 Chevy Chemical Fire Truck which was later made into a
combination pumper and tanker. Many people in the community remember it as
"Daisy June."
Daisy June was replaced in 1943 with a 1943
Seagrave. The Seagrave was ready for shipment to Pearl Harbor for the
U.S.Navy at the time Comstock bought it. The truck was rerouted from the Seagrave
Corp. plant in Columbus, Ohio, to Kalamazoo and arrived by railroad flat car.
Comstock now owns 9 fire trucks.
