==History ==
The Arcadia Fire Department was established in 1909 with the hiring of a fire chief and one paid fireman. The remaining fire fighting force consisted of approximately 30 volunteers. Prior to this, Arcadia’s only fire fighting equipment was a reel of 2 ½” hose kept at the old City Hall, then located at First Avenue and Huntington Drive, and manned by any citizens who were available at the time of a fire. By 1938, J.M. Nellis had been appointed as the fire chief and 19 full-time firefighters were hired, marking the end of the volunteer firefighting system. The Arcadia Fire Department has maintained an ISO Class 1 rating since 1995. They are one of five Class 1 agencies in LA County.
