History

The Fire Department was founded in 1856 as a volunteer fire department and became a full time paid fire department in 1885. Over the years the role of the fire department in our community has expanded from one as a group of people you called if you had a fire, to a group of dedicated professionals who not only extinguish fires but perform other duties such as: emergency medical services as EMT first responders, code enforcement, fire prevention inspections, public safety education, free smoke detector installations, all types of rescue service, hazardous materials response and mitigation, and the list continues to grow as we strive to meet the needs of our community. The principles the Ashland Fire Department were founded upon and continue to strive to meet are dedication, determination, courage, excellence, teamwork, pride, leadership, commitment and honor.
