TRUMBULL — The Nichols Fire Department is celebrating 100 years of serving the community with an open house and picnic on Sunday. Community members are invited to visit the department’s headquarters at 100 Shelton Road and watch demonstrations from firefighters and other public safety officers. Food trucks and vendors, including beer and wine, will be on site. The fire department started in January 1917 with a small group of people in the village of Nichols, according to the department’s website. In August of that year, it received a Ford Model T chemical truck as its first fire apparatus.
