The first recorded account of fire protection for the Town of Millville dates back to 1922. On April 14, 1936 a meeting was held in the ice cream parlor of Dr. Hocker's Drug Store with the intent of establishing a fire company for the Town of Millville. It was decided to enlist the help of the local church. The Church bell was rung for two minutes straight to alert the firemen and the fire engine would wait for an additional three minutes before responding to the scene.
May 12th, 1984 ground breaking was preformed on the location of the current station and in May 15th 1985 just over a year from when the construction was started the building was dedicated.
