In the 1800s, most cities and towns had volunteer fire companies, often organized by local citizens who were passionate about firefighting. These companies typically used hand-drawn fire engines and water buckets, relying on community support for equipment and manpower. Some larger cities began to establish paid fire departments towards the end of the century, improving response times and training. Additionally, many fire companies were known for their social aspects, often serving as community organizations beyond just firefighting.
