==History==
Fire service in Pensacola dates back to [[1810]], when Spanish officials imported two fire engines, fifty leather buckets, hoses and nozzles from a British firm. A volunteer firefighting brigade was formed in [[1821]] when Florida was transferred to the United States. Volunteers continued to be the only means of fire protection until [[January 1]], [[1898]], when the city established a full-time department of paid firefighters.
