"Binghamton's began in 1834 as a volunteer organization...On October 1, 1911 the department became fully paid with a complement of 91 officers and firefighters with Charles N. Hogg as the Chief. The bureau continued to grow in size and modernized with motor driven apparatus. The horse drawn equipment was phased out by 1922. With the building of the station at 259 Conklin Avenue in 1929 the bureau reached its maximum size of 186 men operating nine engine companies, three truck companies and one heavy Rescue Company out of nine stations."
