Fire Department History
"Where It All Began"

During the spring of 1946, the Loganville Fire Department was established, comprised entirely of volunteers from local businesses and residence within the community. The City of Loganville purchased 1940’s Military surplus fire truck from Fort Oglethorpe. The original station was located on Main Street near the old Logan Theater.

Loganville Fire Department operates out of three stations with 21 full time personnel assigned to the operations division working 24 hours a day, as well as 15 part time employees in the operations division and 4 administrative staff. The stations are located throughout the city to offer better fire protection. All three stations are located within a 2 mile radius of each other. Station 1 is located on Lee Byrd Road. It houses a 75’ aerial and 1 reserve engine. Station 2 operates out of Tom Brewer Road and houses 1 engine. Station 3 operates out of Old Loganville Road with 1 engine and 1 Battalion Chief. The primary role of the department is to service the areas within the city limits as well as surrounding areas through automatic aid agreements with Walton County.

The Fire Chief’s office and Fire Marshal’s Offices are located at Tom Brewer Road.
