Montgomery (Ala.) Fire Dept.

Hide Profile

Like many fire departments in other towns and cities, the Montgomery Fire Department finds its roots in several volunteer fire companies. The first records of a fire company in Montgomery, Ala., is the Old Dexter Fire company in 1847. It was not until July 15, 1898, that a paid fire deparment was established and the city's first modern fire equipment was installed. The department rapidly grew to accomodate the needs of Montgomery.
