The San Antonio Fire Department provides fire protection and emergency medical services for the city of San Antonio, Texas. The department is the third largest fire department (by number of personnel) in the state of Texas.[2] With over 1,500 members, the SAFD is responsible for a population of over 1.4 million people apread across 408 square miles (1,060 km2).[3]

History

The department got its start on June 6, 1854 when a group of 20 San Antonians met to organize an all volunteer fire department.[4] The company, initially called the Ben Milam Company, consisted only of a bucket brigade.[4] In 1858 first hand operated fire engine was purchased. In March of 1891 the department transitioned to a paid department.[4]
