(2) The exact date of creation is unknown. The Lismore Fire Brigade Board existed until 31/12/1909 when it was taken by the Board of Fire Commissioners.(4) In December 1909 the Public Works Department accepted a tender for erection of the first floor of the Station which was built by November 1910.
