A volunteer fire department was organized in 1798 in Belvidere Village. The apparatus and equipment was bought by private subscription. In the Town Records of March 4, 1833 the town took over maintenance and appropriated the sum of $150 to purchase hose and equipment. When Belvidere was annexed to Lowell this fire engine was taken over and for many years was stored in the Central Fire Station in Lowell. The General Committee appointed to conduct the 200th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Town, believing that it was proper to request the return of this original piece of Tewksbury fire apparatus, communicated with Hon. James J. Bruin, Mayor of Lowell and with his recommendation a letter was forwarded to the City Council and it was unanimously voted to return the Wamesit Hand Pump to the Town of Tewksbury. Today the Wamesit Hand Pump, given the name "Always Ready", stands on display at the Tewksbury Public Library.

The old Tewksbury Fire Barn was former old carriage house of Dr. Enoch Foster. Current Town Hall is barely visible to the right of the fire barn.

The picture below shows the Gamewell horns taken from the old fire barn. They currently sit atop the hose tower of the Center Fire Station. In the background between the horns, Dr. Foster's house can be seen on Dewey Street. It was moved from its original location to make way for Town Hall.
