History of Chandler Fire Dept

Fire protection for the Town of Chandler began in 1917 when the Chamber of Commerce organized a fire company consisting of 18 volunteers. At that time, the town had approximately 2,000 residents.  The fire company was led by Town Marshal Joe Sparks who was also the town’s only law enforcement officer. The Chamber of Commerce equipped the volunteer company with six hundred feet of hose, several nozzles, and two hose carts.
