Brighouse Fire Hall No. 1.

In 1922, a public meeting of the Brighouse-Garden City area residents was held with the purpose of forming a volunteer fire department. Three days later this became a reality.

In 1923, the Brighouse Volunteer Fire Department moved into the modern age, installing a police telephone for emergency calls and racing to emergency scenes in two of the volunteers’ Model T Fords.

The current Brighouse Fire Hall No. 1 station was completed in 2018. It replaced the previous 50-year-old fire hall. The new facility is also home to Richmond Fire-Rescue’s administrative offices, Fire Prevention and Community Relations, and the Emergency Programs Department.
