===Fire Department===
Organized February 14, 1914, the Trinity Volunteer Fire Department began with 12 volunteers, 500 feet of hose, a shotgun and "some mighty strong lungs."  When a fire broke out, one member would fire the shotgun and the rest would start yelling.  Today TVFD members have advanced firefighting certification from the State Firemen's and Fire Marshal's Association.<ref name="TS-2014" />
