The Yukon Fire Department was organized in 1899 when a group of men volunteered their time to extinguish fires. The Yukon Fire Department was formally organized as a part of the city government on July 6, 1914. At that time, the Yukon City Council approved ordinance Number 66, which appointed members of the department and assigned duties. Early firefighters used buckets to fight fires and progressed to a hand-drawn hose cart around 1900. The equipment was stored on the ground floor of a two-story bandstand at the intersection known today as 5th and Main Street.
