 The Anderson Fire Department was established in 1869 with approximately 60 volunteers. Four years later, three full time firefighters were hired as apparatus handlers. One was a hose wagon, a  hook & ladder and a Chiefs buggy all housed in City Hall. Located at 8th & Central

1869

 

 139 years later,,, A.F.D. is alive and well, Still producing some outstanding firefighters.

Firefighters

Keep doing, What your doing,,, It's working.

 "Stay safe out there".
