Houston Fire Department

City Directory Listings

This document is intended to contain the actual contents of the City of Houston, City Directory. In keeping with the historical value of the documents the original text is transcribed here including typographical errors contained in the original documents.

The City of Houston went to a paid department in August of 1895. A lot of the Volunteer Firefighters were hired.

The 1913-1914 City Directory was the last year that all the personnel in the department were listed by station.

The 1915-1916 to  1929-1930 listed all the stations in the city and only the officers of each station.

1931 to 1932 directories up until about the mid 1930’s listed only the stations and the personell of the HFD headquarters.

1921  Newspaper article-New Platoon 

NEW SYSTEM INSTALLED IN DEPARTMENT

Double Platoon Becomes Effective For Fire Fighting Force; Many Changes Are Made in Personnel.

Houston's fire department experienced one of the greatest shake-ups in its history Friday, when the double platoon system was put into effect.

The men were put on a double shift, the daylight men working 10 hours. Previously there has been only one shift, with men having certain days off duty. To make the change it was necessary to shift men in every fire station in Houston.

Fire Commissioner A. I. Anderson and Fire Chief Wells, with Norman Beard, secretary of the civil service commission, have been working out the details of the double platoon for several weeks. Besides increasing the number of men in the department, it was necessary for the fire department officials to make a number of promotions to fill positions of captains.

The promotion of most importance was that of J. H. Davidson from captain of the Central Station to third assistant chief, which position is created under the new arrangement.

All of the new men taken into the department were qualified by rigid physical and mental examinations, conducted by the civil service commission. Of the large number of applicants examined for the service 117 were rejected because they did not meet the requirements of the commission. The promotions to captains were made in accordance with the rules of the civil service commission, and all are probationary promotions, covering one year's probation before becoming permanent.

Both Fire Commissioner Anderson and Fire Chief Wells congratulated Secretary Beard of the civil service commission on the array of men presented from which the selections were made to fill the vacancies in the department. Commissioner Anderson said he had never seen a better looking class of men come into the fire department.

Secretary Beard expects to have a new book of rules for the fire department ready for distribution in a few days.
