The Dalton Fire District was established in 1884. The district provided water to 225 citizens and members of the Dalton Fire District.
As fires became an increasing problem within the town, it was brought before the town at a meeting to form a fire department. The town of Dalton turned down the idea as it was too expensive at the time.
The Dalton Fire District was approached, and in 1899 it was voted on at a District meeting to establish the DALTON FIRE DEPARTMENT. Chief John Hardiman was in charge from 1899 until his death in 1939.
Currently, the Department has a roster of 25 members that respond to all hazards. They operate out of one station.
The staff includes 1 Chief, 1 Assistant Chief, 2 Captains, and 3 Lieutenants that command 4 full-time shifts of FF/EMTs and Paramedics, and a number of call/vol firefighters operating 24/7/365 to serve the town of Dalton.
