The first formal meeting of the Ramsey Volunteer Fire Department was in January of 1899 and a vote was taken to incorporate Ramsey as the second oldest department in the Mutual Aid. Permanent officers were elected and 32 men signed the original charter. At the same meeting, a $25 deposit was put down on their first fire engine, an 1885 Babcock Chemical Wagon, purchased from the Rutherford Fire Department.
