In the winter of 1867, a meeting was held to to form a fire brigade in the town. As a result of that meeting, a volunteer fire service known as the Truro Fire Brigade was formed in 1868. During the year of incorporation, 1875, career staff were employed by the Town of Truro to maintain the fire station and care for the horses that pulled the fire fighting apparatus. In April of 2001, the Town adopted the title of the Truro Fire Service. This service is comprised of full time and volunteer firefighters who serve and protect the citizens of Truro from the dangers of fire. The Truro Fire Service also provides fire prevention education and inspection services in addition to fire protection. The Truro founding fathers recognized early that the importance of a water supply system was essential in providing a high quality fire protection to its citizens. In 1876, the first hydrants were installed on the streets of Truro. Now every town owned road is equipped with fire hydrants. Additional fire service is offered by a number of volunteer departments in the surrounding communities. Check out some fire prevention tips.
