The town of Searchmont received its name in honor of T. C. Search, the treasurer of the consolidated Lake Superior Company.
The Searchmont Community Centre was renovated in 2002 with the aid of a SuperBuild grant provided by the Ontario government.
Part of the Centre has been named after Walter Senko, a recently deceased school teacher in the area.
The brigade was able to purchase a pumper truck, 2 portable fire pumps, protection clothing and breathing apparatus at that time.
The current SCVFD hosts an annual Fireman's Ball each spring as a local fundraiser and to provide an opportunity for the community to recognize the individual volunteer efforts provided.
