In 1891, volunteer firefighters from the Mount Vernon Fire Department would respond to fires with a steam-powered pump truck and a hose cart capable of carrying an 800-foot hose — long enough to stretch from one end of town to the other.

The department has grown to three stations, 35 full-time firefighters, four engines, a ladder truck, an ambulance and a rescue vehicle, and is celebrating its 125th anniversary with new badges that honor its history.
