Fire protection started in Portland in 1768 with the appointment of five “Fire Wards.” These men had Police powers and had the authority to order citizens to help at fire scenes. In 1787 Portland’s first organized Fire Company was formed and was named the Neptune. More companies followed: Vigilant in 1794, Cataract, Portland, Extinguisher, and later the Alert. Hand Engines came into service starting with the Deluge in 1827 and the Hydraulion and Niagra in 1830. And in 1827 the Washington Hook and Ladder became the city’s first Ladder Company. In 1831 the Portland Fire Department was officially established.
