Prva udruga dobrovoljnih vatrogasnih društava osnovana je davne 1926. godine pod imenom Vatrogasna Župa Daruvar u kojoj je tada bilo udruženo 10 dobrovoljnih vatrogasnih društava (Daruvar, Trojeglava, Sirač, Đulovac, Daruvarski Brestovac, Dežanovac, Uljanik, Končanica, Donji Daruvar i Veliki Bastaji).
