Department History

On April 27, 1885, sixteen Kingman citizens gathered for the purpose of forming a city fire department.

The Kingman Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 was formed by the election of officers. Elected were J.M. Nickell, Fire Chief; L. A. McManamy, First Assistant Fire Chief; E. H. Andrus, Second Assistant Fire Chief; E. A. Newman, President; and C.W. Gibson, Secretary/Treasurer.

The by-laws were completed on May 11, 1885. To begin their treasury each fire department member was charged 25 cents. Their first fire drill was held May 15, 1885.
