History

The Memphis Fire Service got its start in 1846 when the first independent fire company was formed.[4] It wasn't until 1859 when the department had its first fire chief. In 1966 the department started to provide ambulance service with 6,561 calls in the first year alone.[4] The history and artifacts of the department are displayed at the Fire Museum of Memphis.
