The Village of Speculator Volunteer Fire Department was christened Engine Company No. 1 when it was officially formed. The department began its days at the old village hall located on Elm Lake Road (formerly East Road). In 1969 the department raised the funds and built the current station on State Route 30 by the community park. In 2017-18 two additional bays were added and new community bathrooms for the park area and travelers passing through.
