Službena osnivačka skupština DVD-a Dragonožec bila je 16. svibnja 1954. godine u prostoru dragonoške osnovne škole. Usvojena su pravila rada te osnutak Društva s punim imenom: Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Dragonožec. Tijekom rada skupštine izabrana su regularna upravna tijela Društva. U Upravni odbor jednoglasno su ušli članovi koji su i na prvom pred-skupštinskom sastanku bili izabrani za predsjednika, komandira, za tajnika i blagajnika. Još su izabrani za zamjenika komandira Josip Horvat Joža, u Nadzorni odbor Juraj Markulin, Josip Cerovski i Mato Horvat, a za delegate u Podsavezu – Franjo Cerovski i Šimun Cimeša. Tom prilikom u Društvo su primljeni prvi novi članovi: Mijo Brebrić, Juraj Markulin, Ivan Petravić i Stjepan Petravić. Za prvo vatrogasno spremište otkupljena otkupljena drvena kuća veličine 7×7 metara, te je polovicom 1962. postavljena u tadašnji središnji dio naselja (danas uz kapelu). Današnje vatrogasno spremište počelo se graditi 13. ožujka 1983. godine. Prijevoz blokova, cementa, kreča i dr., sve je išlo dobrovoljno. Rađeno je sve ručno: ubacivanje pijeska, cementa i vode u miješalicu, nošenje blokova. Međutim inspekcija je ubrzo stopirala gradnju. Spremište se napokon dovršilo u ljeto 1985. godine postavljanjem krova. Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Dragonožec dobilo je prvo vatrogasno vozilo 1977. godine i to je bio  kombi Zastava 850. Vozilo je Vatrogasna brigada dodijelila Vatrogasnom savezu Zagreba, a Vatrogasni savez je vozilo dodijelio DVD-u Dragonožec. Predaju je izvršio Juraj Bedeković, a vozilo je preuzeo Vjekoslav Jancetić. Vozilo je bilo u neispravnom stanju i članovi DVD-a su ga vlastitim sredstvima uredili i osposobili za intervencije. Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Dragonožec 1986. godine dobilo je navalno vozilo TAM 5500 proizvedeno 1969. godine. S tim navalnim vozilom DVD se koristio u narednih 20 godina. Zbog velikog angažmana članova DVD-a i sudjelovanja na brojnim vježbama i intervencijama, Vatrogasna zajednica Grada Zagreba 1997. godine DVD-u dodjeljuje kombi vozilo TAM 80 s priručnom opremom. Vozilo je predao Predsjednik VZGZ g. Pavle Bonetti,a ključeve je preuzeo Predsjednik DVD-a Stjepan Cerovski.

The official founding assembly of the Dragonožec Volunteer Fire Department (DVD Dragonožec) was held on 16 May 1954 at the Dragonožec Primary School. During the meeting, the Society's statutes were adopted, and the establishment of the organization under its official name, Dragonožec Volunteer Fire Department (Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Dragonožec), was formally approved. The Society's governing bodies were also elected. The members who had already been chosen at the preliminary organizational meeting were unanimously confirmed as President, Fire Chief, Secretary, and Treasurer. Josip Horvat "Joža" was elected Deputy Fire Chief, while Juraj Markulin, Josip Cerovski, and Mato Horvat became members of the Supervisory Board. Franjo Cerovski and Šimun Cimeša were appointed as delegates to the regional Firefighting Association (Podsavez). On the same occasion, the first new members were admitted to the Society: Mijo Brebrić, Juraj Markulin, Ivan Petravić, and Stjepan Petravić. The Society's first fire station was a wooden building measuring 7 × 7 metres, which was purchased and, in mid-1962, relocated to what was then the centre of the village (today beside the local chapel). Construction of the present-day fire station began on 13 March 1983. The transport of concrete blocks, cement, lime, and other building materials was carried out entirely on a voluntary basis. All work was done manually—from loading sand, cement, and water into the concrete mixer to carrying the heavy building blocks. However, construction was soon halted by an inspection order. The station was finally completed in the summer of 1985 with the installation of the roof.

The Dragonožec Volunteer Fire Department received its first fire vehicle in 1977—a Zastava 850 van. The vehicle had initially been allocated by the Fire Brigade to the Zagreb Firefighting Association, which subsequently assigned it to DVD Dragonožec. The handover was carried out by Juraj Bedeković, while Vjekoslav Jancetić accepted the vehicle on behalf of the Society. Although the van was in poor mechanical condition, the members restored and repaired it using their own resources, making it fully operational for emergency response. In 1986, the Society acquired a TAM 5500 fire engine, manufactured in 1969, which remained in operational service for the next twenty years. In recognition of the members' exceptional commitment and their active participation in numerous training exercises and emergency interventions, the Zagreb City Firefighting Association awarded DVD Dragonožec a TAM 80 van equipped with basic firefighting equipment in 1997. The vehicle was officially presented by Mr. Pavle Bonetti, President of the Zagreb City Firefighting Association, while the keys were received by Stjepan Cerovski, President of the Dragonožec Volunteer Fire Department.
