==History==
The City of Long Beach was incorporated in 1897, and shortly thereafter, a group of citizens formed the first volunteer fire department and elected Brewster C. Kenyon as Captain. After a 1905 fire destroyed the Long Beach Pavilion, a $30,000 bond was issued by popular vote to build a central fire station as well as provide equipment, including fire alarm boxes, a steam fire engine, a hose wagon, and a hook and ladder truck, as well as a team of horses to pull the newly purchased trucks. In 1906, the first official fire station (Station No. 1) was built at 210 West Third Street. The regular firemen were assisted by "call firemen," who would be paid per fire fought. In 1907, the department purchased its first motorized fire trucks. In 1908, Station No. 2 and Station No. 3 were opened, followed by Station No. 4 in 1910. In 1920, the department hired additional full-time personnel and ground was broken on two additional fire stations, Station No. 5 and Station No. 6. Between 1924 and 1929, and additional six stations were built throughout the city. In 1942, the city acquired its first fire boat, the "Charles S. Windham."
