History
The Hoboken Fire Department traces its origins back to 1847 when a lightning storm destroyed many homes and business leading to the creation of the Hoboken Village Volunteer Fire Department.

The 1860s saw the creation of a public water system providing firefighters with a source of water carried via wooden mains that could be accessed by boring a hole in them. Each of the pumpers carried a short pipe that was designed to be pushed into the hole to deliver water.

At its height, in 1892, the Hoboken Fire Department operated out of six firehouses, and manned six engine companies and three ladder companies: Engine Co. 1 at 128 Hudson Street, Engine Co. 2/Ladder Co. 1 at 1313 Washington Street, Engine Co. 3 at 201 Jefferson Street, Engine Co. 4/Ladder Co. 2 at 43 Madison Street, Engine Co. 5 at 412 Grand Street, and Engine Co. 6/Ladder Co. 3 at 801 Clinton Street.
