==History== 
Dublin City's first municipal fire engines were delivered in 1705. Throughout the second half of the 18th Century, insurance brigades were the primary source of firefighting for the city, operating independently for buildings bearing the mark of their respective insurance companies. Eventually, the brigades began to co-operate on a competition basis with the first brigade on scene being the highest paid. It wasn't until 1862 with the enactment of the Dublin Corporation Act, that the city had an organised fire brigade. J.R. Ingram, a Dublin resident, became the first superintendent of the brigade; having worked as a firefighter in New York and London prior. The brigade consisted of 24 men with a makeshift fire brigade station on Winetavern Street in The Liberties section of the city. In 1898, the Dublin Fire Brigade Ambulance Service was established. The turn of the century saw the brigade have its first fire stations and permanent headquarters built, with the first motorised fire engine being put into service in 1909.
