THE PLACE TO BE
Our History
The Farmington Fire Department has proudly served the City of Farmington since its first Chief was hired in 1912. Since then, the Department has grown and adapted with the ever growing and changing population and infrastructure of Farmington. We have grown from a small volunteer department to a full time career department serving the city with 6 stations as well as a number of specialty teams.
Beginning in 1912, FFD was a full volunteer department consisting of 21 volunteer firefighters which originally operated out of city hall with a single Hand Drawn Hose Cart. It was not until July 8th 1924 that the Farmington Fire Department was recognized as an official department of the municipal government and purchased its first fire truck, a Ford model TT. The department continued to serve the City of Farmington from City hall until 1948 when FFD’s first station was built immediately next door.
