THE LEGO FALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS FOUNDED IN THE YEAR 1968 WHEN THE CITIZENS OF LEGO FALLS, THEN A TOWN, WERE TIRED OF LOSING BUILDINGS TO THE FEAR KNOWN AS FIRE. SO THE LEGO FALLS TOWN BOARD ORDERED A 1968 FORD C TILT CAB WITH PIERCE BODYWORK ENGINE, WHICH HAD A 1000/500 GALLON WATER TANK. THEY HIRED 12 MEMBERS TO HAVE A THREE SHIFT ROTATION WITH AN OFFICER AND THREE GUYS ON THE RIG. THIS RIG WAS JUST RETIRED IN 2015, AND IS NOW THE PARADE PIECE. IN 2013 THE TOWN OF LEGO FALLS BECAME A CITY WITH THE ADDITION OF THE NEW RACETRACK AND APARTMENT COMPLEXES, ALONG WITH THE ADDITION OF THE "WEST SIDE", ALSO KNOWN AS BRICKSBURY, TO LEGO FALLS. THEY ORDERED 4 ENGINES, 2 LADDERS, AND 1 RESCUE FOR THE NOW LARGE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AND BUILT A NEW STATION AS WELL. THEY RUN 4 MEN ON EACH ENGINE, 4 MEN ON EACH LADDER, AND 6 MEN ON EACH RESCUE, WITH FOUR SETS OF CREWS. THE "WEST SIDE" ALSO HAS A VOLUNTEER DEPARTMENT THAT WORKS WITH LEGO FALLS FIRE FOR AUTOMATIC MUTUAL AID FOR ALL FIRE AND EMS CALLS IN BRICKSBURY AND FOR ALL STRUCTURE FIRE IN BRICKSBURY AND LEGO FALLS.
