From the site: "In 1888, a volunteer fire department was organized in the area now known as Pleasanton. This organization consisted of three fire companies with a total of twenty men. The equipment was comprised of two hose carts (Protection Hose Company #1 and Alisal Hose Company #2) and Hook and Ladder Company #1 which carried twenty leather fire buckets.

More than 100 years later, the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire Department staff consists of 30 fire captains, 30 fire engineers, 30 firefighters/paramedics, 18 firefighters in line operations, 6 chief officers, 5 managers, 1 disaster preparedness coordinator, 4 fire prevention inspectors, 1 hazardous materials coordinator, 2 hazardous materials inspectors and 4 office support staff."
