The first recorded account of fire protection for the Town of Millville dates back to 1922, when the town purchased a Chemical Wagon for $60.00. The wagon was housed in a shed owned by Mr. H.H. Dukes, SR. A fire that erupted in the shed sometime later destroyed the building and the wagon was moved to a barn owned by Dr. K.J. Hocker.

On April 14, 1936 a meeting was held in the ice cream parlor of Dr. Hocker's Drug Store with the intent of establishing a fire company for the Town of Millville. Officer's were elected and appointed that night and the Company was formed. Later that same month on April 21st the Chief Engineer along with two other members went to look into purchasing a motorized fire truck to better serve the town. The company purchased that apparatus which was an American LaFrance pumper. It boasted a 250-gallon water tank, which was much better than the 40-gallon chemical tank that had been used for years before.

Now that the Company was formed the officers needed to find a way to alert the volunteers that there was an emergency. It was decided to enlist the help of the local church. The Church bell was rung for two minutes straight to alert the firemen and the fire engine would wait for an additional three minutes before responding to the scene. As the Company grew and responses increased, in 1937 the first siren was purchased and mounted on a tower at Dr. Hockers.

Starting in 1939 the winds of change started blowing through the town of Millville. The company purchased a lot for expansion from Mr. Amos McCabe and also signed a contract with a local company for the construction of a Firehouse. The Company also became incorporated the same year. 1941 saw an increase of membership to 50 members and it also saw the purchase of an additional Tank Wagon. In 1942 the first telephone was installed and in 1945 the first NEW fire apparatus was purchased. A 1945 Auto car with a 1000-gallon water tank.
