The first fires in Millersburg were fought without any special equipment. The cry of “Fire” brought out the people with buckets, the adults forming a line from the wells to the fire to pass up the full buckets and the children forming a line to pass back the empty ones. Wagons were loaded with water barrels and rushed to the river for water and back to the fire. Through the years technology has changed the way we respond to and extinguish fires. Today, the Fire Company is radio dispatched and responds with state of the art equipment and highly trained personnel. The fire trucks are much larger and they possess greater capabilities than their predecessors. The common factor that has not changed throughout the years is that Millersburg is protected by an all volunteer fire fighting force.
