| Details: | Snoqualmie Days (formerly known as Snoqualmie Railroad Days) is an annual festival that celebrates all things “Snoqualmie”, but the original Snoqualmie Days celebrated a specific and important event – the arrival of the town’s first fire truck. Before the fire truck, fires were suppressed using two hose carts operated by volunteers. When a fire was detected, a volunteer would run to the fire siren (still heard downtown each day at noon) to summon help. The first volunteer to arrive would grab a hose cart and run to the fire. Despite best efforts, volunteer firefighter and later fire chief, Martin Fringer, recalled that even an “average fire meant a completely burned building.”
