Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Ivanić-Grad – najstarije je društvo u Gradu i jedno od najstarijih u Republici Hrvatskoj. Na sjednici Gradskog magistrata 9. kolovoza 1889. godine raspravljalo se o potrebi osnivanja Dobrovoljnoga vatrogasnoga društva. Društvo je počelo sa radom 31. kolovoza 1892. godine, kada su na privremenoj glavnoj skupštini izglasana Pravila društva (današnjim rječnikom Statut), koja je 29. rujna 1892. godine potvrdila Kraljevska hrvatsko-dalmatinska vlada u Zagrebu. Temeljem tih podataka, 1892. godina uzima se kao godina utemeljenja Dobrovoljnoga vatrogasnoga društva Ivanić. Utemeljenje Društva svojim su prilozima potpomogli: biskup dr. Juraj Posilović, Solomun Hiršl, Heinrich Hiršl, paroh Miran Nikolić iz Pakraca, Imovna Općina Križevačka, Osiguravajući zavod ,,Croatia”. Prema pravilima Društva gasioci su se dijelili u 3 grupe: penjači, štrcari, čuvari. Vatrogasni dom je sagrađen početkom XX. stoljeća na zemljištu koje su darovali Đuro Rubetić i Dragutin Megla. Osnivanjem Društva nabavljena su puhačka glazbala i odore za glazbenike, jer je iz zapisa u Školskoj spomenici 1893./1894. godine čitljivo: “… škola opet usrećena posjetom velikog župana, presvijetlog gospodina dr. Milutina Kukuljevića Sakcinskog, … samo je ovaj put svečanost dopunjena nastupom Vatrogasne limene glazbe.” Ostvarila se vizija staroga gradskoga Poglavarstva: “Hvala vam šenpeterska pleh-muzika! Mi imamo svoju!”. Društvo je bilo poznato po već spomenutoj pumpi Rosenbauer i po “ljestvama rastegači” visokoj 14 metara. Neki od penjača su bili: Martin Polak, Anton Barilić, Stjepan Barišić, Stjepan Kauzlarić, Marijan Hazer, Janko Belužić i još neki za koje nemamo podatke.
Voluntary Fire Department (DVD) Ivanić-Grad is the oldest fire department in the city and one of the oldest in the Republic of Croatia. On August 9, 1889, the City Magistrate discussed the necessity of its founding. The department officially began its operations on August 31, 1892, during a provisional general assembly where the Rules of the Association (the modern-day Statute) were passed. These rules were later confirmed on September 29, 1892, by the Royal Croatian-Dalmatian Government in Zagreb. Based on these records, 1892 is considered the official founding year of the Ivanić Voluntary Fire Department. The establishment of the department was supported by contributions from: Bishop Dr. Juraj Posilović, Solomun Hiršl, Heinrich Hiršl, Parish Priest Miran Nikolić from Pakrac, the Property Municipality of Križevci, and the "Croatia" Insurance Institute. According to the original rules, firefighters were divided into three groups: climbers, sprayers, and guards. The fire station was built at the beginning of the 20th century on land donated by Đuro Rubetić and Dragutin Megla. Upon the department's founding, wind instruments and uniforms were purchased for musicians. According to school records from 1893/1894, the local school was visited by the Grand Prefect, Dr. Milutin Kukuljević Sakcinski, and "this time the ceremony was completed by the performance of the Firefighters' Brass Band." This fulfilled the vision of the old City Government: "Thank you, Šenpeterska brass band! Now we have our own!" The department was also well-known for its Rosenbauer pump and its 14-meter-high extension ladder. Some of the notable "climbers" were Martin Polak, Anton Barilić, Stjepan Barišić, Stjepan Kauzlarić, Marijan Hazer, and Janko Belužić.
