To raise operating funds, the new Fire Company held "Smoker" parties every few months. The parties resembled a Monte Carlo event. The signing of the Fire Prevention contract with the Town of Clarence in 1941 eased financial worries. The Town of Clarence paid based on the assessed valuation of all homes in the district.

Harris Hill got its first loan from the Bank of Williamsville. They borrowed money to buy a Federal Fire Siren which they had installed on top of Metz's Garage at the corner of Main Street and Harris Hill Road. One blast of the siren indicated a meeting. Two blasts identified a drill, and a third blast meant a fire!

The protection district boundries are as follows: starting at the northeast corner of Wherle Drive and Transit Road in Clarence, northbound on Transit Road to Griener Road, then travel eastbound on Griener Road to Old Goodrich Road, then southbound on Old Goodrich Road to Goodrich Road, then again southbound on Goodrich Road to Main Street, then eastbound on Main Street to Gunville Road, then souhtbound on Gunville Road to Wherle Drive, then westbound to Transit Road to the starting point.
