Description

The Keyport Fire Department was once created by necessity within the aftermath of the good fire of 1877, which destroyed half of the town’s business center and brought the bustling early port settlement to a grinding halt. As the town was once being rebuilt, citizens acted to make sure that fire would never again spread uncontrollably. By 1907, seven fire companies formed to supply hose, engine, ladder, and fire police products and services, with equipment drawn by hand or horses. The dept’s equipment and firefighting techniques evolved with time and technology. Keyport Firefighting chronicles more than 130 years of the firefighting women and men who lived, worked, and volunteered their products and services for their place of birth so that you could preserve life and property.
