In 1891, money was allocated for the construction of a combined city hall and fire department. The bottom half served as the fire department, while the upper floors were utilized as a combination City Hall and meeting area. The building was made of brick and located at 115 South G Street. This building served as "Station 1" and administrative headquarters until 1978, when it was torn down and rebuilt as the existing fire headquarters.

Fire Station 51 houses: Engine 51, Engine 351, Engine 352, Truck 51, Rescue 51 and Battalion 51/52/53. The station also serves as the fire administration building.

Fire Station 52 serves the North end of our community and was built in 1985 as the City realized significant growth and development in our community. The station is 2,555 square feet, and is staffed with a 3- person Type 1 engine.
