About the Flint Gresham Volunteer Fire Department

The Flint-Gresham Volunteer Fire Department was first organized in June 1964 with 26 members. The first truck, a 1952 Dodge Pumper with 300 gallon capacity was purchased from the City of Tyler for $50.00 on July 6, 1964 and began responding to calls in Flint-Gresham that same day.
