The Winfield Fire Department began as a volunteer department. Chief S. E. Compton moved his department into the new City of Winfield building in 1886, sharing it with all the other city departments. Somewhere around 1903 Winfield Fire became a full paid fire department working 24-hour shifts. The station remains in this fine old building at 817 Fuller, as it has for over 120 years.

The firehouse is on the north side of E. 9th Street and the west side of Fuller, across the street from Memorial Park.
