Iowa City had one of the first fire departments in Iowa. The roots of the department go back to 1842, three years after the founding of Iowa City and four years before Iowa's statehood. According to the proceedings of the Fourth Legislative Assembly of the Territory of Iowa, Council File 109, a bill authorizing the Iowa City Fire Engine Company, was approved in February of 1842, largely for the protection of what was then the new state capitol building.
