Summary
In 1825, the General Court directed the City Council of Boston to establish a fire department with a Chief Engineer, Fire Wardens, and Engine Men elected or appointed by the Council. The Council was to provide certificates of employment, fix the salary of the Chief at not more than $500, set duties, conduct rules, and penalties for breaking the rules. Firemen were to have the authority to pull down or demolish houses if necessary. The City was to pay compensation under certain circumstances. If a fireman served for ten years, he was exempt from most militia duty. All previous laws about Boston fire departments were repealed.
