Ferndale hosted another CFMA Firemen’s Muster at the fairgrounds August 30th-31st. This muster was the state championship final.

Work on raising the Fire Hall began in December. As the fire apparatuses grew in size, new engines like the upcoming 1998 HiTech Engine 1 could no lover fit through the doors, making the addition necessary. DCI Builders raised the hall two feet, poured a new foundation, refinished the downstairs interior, and added the rear extension. The rear extension not only provided room for two tenders to park in one stall downstairs, but it provided for a new office for the chiefs to use.

In March, the renovation on the Fire Hall was finished and equipment was moved back in.

In August, the new Engine 1 built by Hi-Tech arrived. It replaced the 1969 International/Van Pelt which was previously the Company 3 Hook & Ladder truck. The Van Pelt was then sold to Petrolia.
