Nashville Fire Department

The city’s first fire-fighting force of volunteers was formed in May 1807. The first paid Dept. was organized on July 29, 1860, with J. S. Dashiell as chief. Three horse-drawn steam engines were bought. A telegraph alarm system was installed in 1875. Chief A. A. Rozetta used the first auto Nov. 21, 1910. First gasoline driven engines were used Sept. 1912.
