History Of The Ridgeland Wilson Fire Dept
The Ridgeland Fire Department has a storied history dating back to 1936 when the first fire station was established on land generously donated by Farmers State Bank. In 1952, Ridgeland and Wilson joined forces to create the Ridgeland-Wilson Fire Department, operating from a modest two-stall building at the site of the current fire hall. Approximately 20 years later, two additional stalls were added to accommodate the growing needs of the community. Today, the fire hall stands as a testament to the dedication and cooperation that have defined the department's service to Ridgeland and Wilson for decades.
