Before it became Apple Valley in 1969, the area between Eagan, Rosemount, Burnsville, and Lakeville was known as Lebanon Township. With a need to provide fire protection for the homes and businesses that were rapidly growing around the County Road 42 and Hayes Road intersection, the Lebanon Fire Department was created in 1966. Ordinance 33 took effect in November of that year, creating a formal fi

re department with 43 charter members. When Lebanon became Apple Valley in 1967, those first firefighters shared 16 black rubber fire coats, pull-up rubber boots, rubber gloves, and plastic helmets. The fire station was not much more than an extra garage stall in the existing town hall and there was one fire truck, a General Safety Equipment 1966 Ford pumper. Two firefighters sat in the cab and the rest of the crew rode on the tailboard. Fire calls were made through a multi-ring telephone system, there was one stationary siren in town, and less than 22 calls for fire response were made that first year.

🚒🔥 We want to extend a sincere thank you to our neighboring fire department, City of Rosemount - Government and Dick's Valley Service, Inc for their assistance during a recent trash compactor fire response.

We’re incredibly grateful to Kidde Fire Safety for their generous donation of combination smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to our department.

These life-saving devices will go to homes throughout our community for residents in need. Working smoke and CO alarms provide an early warning that can make all the difference in an emergency, and we’re proud to help improve safety for local families.

We are putting together a plan as to how these will be distributed to Apple Valley residents who need them. We will share information about this program once we get all the details finalized.

Thank you again to Kidde for supporting fire prevention and helping us keep our community safe. 🚒🏠
