Our History

Livingston’s first major fire occurred in 1883, destroying an abandoned building and threatening nearby structures. To prevent the fire from spreading, two neighboring buildings were demolished. Just six days later, the Livingston Hook and Ladder Co. was formed.

In 1894, the city hired its first paid firefighter and acquired a horse-drawn hose and ladder wagon. The wagons were faithfully pulled by two horses, Bob and Major, whose names remain honored on our engine and truck today. By 1897, Livingston established its first organized volunteer fire department.

In 1992, the City of Livingston approved the addition of an ambulance service. Today, our 12 shift personnel and three administrative staff members are all paramedics, providing advanced emergency medical care to the community.
