The Edinburgh Fire & Rescue was founded in 1875. One of the early firehouses was located at 107 S. Holland St., the current location of the Town Hall. It housed a horse drawn fire apparatus.

  • In 1962 the Fire Department moved into a new firehouse located at 203 S. Walnut St. on the corner of Walnut & Thompson St.
    • In 1974 the Fire Department started the ambulance service and began transporting patients to the Emergency Room.
    • The Fire Department now operates a 24-hour Advanced Life Support service utilizing two ambulances.
    • In 1975 an addition was added to the Fire Station that doubled the size. This addition included offices and additional bay areas.
    • This station is currently owned by the Town of Edinburgh but is leased to a private contractor. 
  • In 1976, concerns over the growing railroad traffic prompted the building of a fire station on the East side of the railroad. Station 2, located off East S.R. 252 at 600 Mary Drybread Ct was constructed using grant money obtained by the Town.
    • In 1991 a local donation supported the construction of an additional 2 bays onto the South end of Station 2.
    • This station still serves as an unstaffed fire station and houses a reserve fire engine and reserve staff vehicle. 
  • In June of 2022, ground was broken to begin the construction of the new fire station located at 4100 W. 900 North.
