The Glebe Fire Brigade began with volunteers in 1875 and became a permanent, professional brigade in 1911. Voluntarism was revived during World War II with the advent of the Women's Fire Auxiliary. Now part of the professional New South Wales Fire Brigade, the St Johns Road Fire Station still serves its community.
