The initiative was spearheaded by the municipal notary, Marko Tomanić. At its founding, the department consisted of 101 members, with key founding figures including Franjo Antolić, Josip Jakovčić, Ivan Lovrić, Franjo Tudović, Josip Sotinski, Josip Sukner, Ivan Sukner, Đuro Karasić, Franjo Zorko, municipal physician Klement Vrus, Josip Klobuk, Mato Antolić, and Milan Prodan. The first General Annual Assembly was held on December 31, 1896. According to a report by Nikola Imbrić, 337 forints were collected from founding and supporting members. From this fund, 300 forints were used to purchase the first equipment, which included helmets, belts, axes, a drum, a horn, and buckets. Initially, the firefighting equipment was stored at the house of Josip Marković and later in the municipal stables. The construction of the fire station began on July 22, 1900, and was completed by September 18 of the same year, an event marked by a grand celebration. In 1903, new carriages were acquired, and the old pump was mounted on wheels. In 1907, the department purchased its first flag for 1,200 crowns. Following World War I, with the assistance of the Forest Community, the department's first Rosenbauer motorized pump was purchased in 1930, at which time a wooden fire tower was also built next to the depot.
