Detroit Fire Department was originally started as a bucket brigade in 1805. In 1860 the fire department was founded with the first paid firefighters, and these firefighters included one engineer, five horsemen, two drivers, and a foreman to operate the first steam fire engine, named Lafayette No. 1. In 1861 the fire department purchased two more steam engines that were named Neptune No. 2 and Phoenix No. 3. In 1864 Rescue Co. No. 1 was organized. Other organized companies: both K.C. Barker No. 4 and James A. Van Dyke No. 5 in 1865, and Union No. 7 in 1874.
