| The Libby Volunteer Fire
Department was formed in 1911. The town was growing fast
with lumber being its major source of employment. The
town purchased a bucket cart and some of the business
owners donated their time to become firefighters when
fire broke out. The streets at that time had no pavement
so most of the time it was mud. The bucket cart was drag
down the streets by the firefighters to the scene of the
fire and brigade lines were formed from a watering trough
to the building and back to the trough. Over the years
trucks were added bring us up to date with the apparatus
that can be viewed on the equipment page. Lincoln County Rural Fire District #1 was formed in 1957. Up until this time the Fire Department was strictly a City department. The Rural Fire District purchased equipment and stored it at the firehall. The department became a dual fire department and the members were able to help their neighbors and friends for a radius of five miles from the firehall. Below are some of the pictures from the past.
