Chesterfield Fire Department - The Original Thirteen De- partments by David C. Creasy, Sr. features many never-before- published photos in a 8.5" x 11" soft cover, coffee table book. Chesterfield County was formed in 1749 but it was not until 1928 that the first volunteer fire department was organized. Twelve more independent volunteer fire departments followed in the years to come. These departments formed the foundation for what would later become the Chesterfield County Fire Department. This book chronicles their organization and growth in those early years. It also describes how they would come together in forming the As- sociation of Chesterfield Fire Departments. Read how this group’s efforts truly improved fire protection in the county and started the process of becoming one department. Pictures, many never be- fore published, capture much of this history and illustrate some of Chesterfield Fire Department’s “firsts”: • The first fire stations for each volunteer fire department • The first motorized fire unit (1931) • The first fire department ambulance (1952) • The first aerial ladder (1961) • The ground breaking for the fire training center (1962) • The first Fire Alarm Headquarters (1967) • The first diesel powered apparatus (1969) • The first yellow fire apparatus (1970) CHESTERFIELD Fire Department www.mtpublishing.com 1-888-263-4702 DEADLINE MAY 13, 2011 COMMEMORATIVE EDITION About The Author – David C.
