History
The Troy Fire Protection District's roots go back to 1915 when the City of Troy purchased the first motorized fire apparatus. The Ford vehicle, purchased from the American La France manufacturing company, had two 25 gallon chemical tanks attached to it. Before this purchase, the fire fighting equipment consisted of three 50-gallon chemical tanks mounted on two wheels. When a fire occurred, firemen drew the tanks down the street.

In 1927, the department was informally reorganized with the election of a Fire Chief and the formation of the fourteen man department. The Troy Fire Protection District was formally organized in May 1957.

In 1961, the City purchased an International Midshift Pumper to protect the district at a cost of $17,000.00. The latest acquisition is a 1998 Pierce Saber at a cost of $248,000. The department has a trained, professional 31 member team: Fire Chief, Assistant Chief, eight Captains (two training officers) and twenty-two fire fighters. Five trustees oversee the management of the department and provide budgeting direction for the operation and maintenance of the district.
