"[8] Incorporated villages had been given the power to raise money for fire protection by the state legislature.

Mr. J. H. Earle, representing the Waterous Gasoline Fire Engine Co. of St. Paul, Minnesota, signed a contract with the village council on October 17, 1902, promising delivery of an engine and 1,000 feet of hose within 30 days.

[10] The Waterous product was among the most modern of the era, representing the transition from heavy steam-powered pumps.

The entire apparatus was light enough to be pulled rapidly by a team of horses or men.

[12] The modern fire engine in use at Daggett drew attention from neighboring communities, including the Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, fire department, who visited Daggett in January 1903 to observe the new engine.

[13] The Waterous unit likely served the village until replaced by a motorized engine from the same company in 1925.

[14] Daggett is in south-central Menominee County along U.S. Route 41, which passes through the east side of the village and leads south 25 miles (40 km) to Menominee, the county seat, and north 17 miles (27 km) to Powers.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village of Daggett has a total area of 1.12 square miles (2.90 km2), all land.
