The volunteer companies were abolished effective May 18, 1869, in favor of six full-time, paid ($40 a month) firefighters, supplemented by six on-call “minute men.” William Sands, the volunteers’ former chief engineer, was appointed the first city fire marshal, the equivalent of fire chief.

The department’s original fire equipment consisted of “two steamers with hose carts and an ample supply of hose; also a hook and ladder truck, all of which are drawn by horses owned by the city.” The new department’s first call – to a stable fire near Ninth and Washington streets – took place on May 27, 1869.
