History
The Moose Jaw Fire Brigade was somewhat formed in 1883, but the first Fire Hall was opened in 1888. The purchase of a Chemical fire engine, also made at this time, marked the beginning of the Volunteer Brigade. The first Fire Department came to be as Fire Chief J. McFadden and two paid men were hired in 1906.
Past Fire Chiefs include J. McFadden, C Lawless, G. Baines, R Webb, W. Cook, G. Higson, A. Higson, N. E. Harris, E. R. Besey, Walter Stack, Maurice Lowe, Mike Barton and Barry Dewald.
