Fire Department History
History | City of Royal Oak History of the Royal Oak Fire Department The first Royal Oak fire department was organized in William Sullivan's home in 1908. Sullivan was elected fire chief; Harry Anderson, Secretary; and William J. Folland president. Other members included Robert McClure, Ralph Bourgeois, William A. Wheeler, Mark and Lee Halsey, Roy Gass, Freeman Robbins, Edward Roy and Edward W. Joyce. With Arthur L. Lawson ringing the St. Mary church bell whenever a fire broke out, this organization safeguarded the village until the Royal Oak Volunteer Fire Department was organized. In 1912, the village experienced a disastrous fire which threatened to destroy the business district south of Third Street. Everything was burned from Mrs. Lochbihler's to Codling's. It was a bitter cold night and a strong wind prevailed. Sparks were carried so far that other parts of the village were threatened. The Masonic Temple caught fire in several places. Help was summoned from Detroit but before it arrived the fire was under control through the valiant efforts of the volunteer group. As a result of the fire, merchants got together and formalized the Volunteer Department on February 13, 1913. Membership increased to include Roy Wing, James Allen, William West, Carlos Marshall, Delbert Geyer, Homer Ebling, George J. Scott, Julius Robar, J. Frank Codling, and Harry A. Brace. William Folland was appointed Chief on April 3, 1912. The early meetings were held in the old town hall on the northwest comer of Main and Fourth Streets. Upon the sale of this building, member's homes were used for a time. -

CITY of DETROIT (FIRE DEPARTMENT) Public Employer-Respondent MERC Case Nos
STATE OF MICHIGAN EMPLOYMENT RELATIONS COMMISSION LABOR RELATIONS DIVISION In the Matter of: CITY OF DETROIT (FIRE DEPARTMENT) Public Employer-Respondent MERC Case Nos. 19-G-1452-CE & 19-H-1646-CE -and- DETROIT FIRE FIGHTERS ASSOCIATION, LOCAL 344, Labor Organization-Charging Party _________________________________________________________/ APPEARANCES: Letitia C. Jones, Senior Assistant Corporation Counsel, for Respondent Legghio & Israel, P.C., by Christopher P. Legghio and Meghan B. Boelstler, for Charging Party DECISION AND ORDER On three occasions during the summer of 2019, Respondent City of Detroit (Fire Department) (Fire Department or Employer) denied the request of Detroit Fire Fighters Association Local 344 (DFFA or Union) President Michael Nevin to “ride a firefighting rig” with his squad even though it had allowed other Union officials to do so for more than 30 years. Shortly before his request was denied, Nevin was also required to submit to a disciplinary “Garrity” interview as part of an administrative investigation. The Union alleged that the foregoing actions occurred in retaliation against, and to suppress, Nevin’s grievance filing and other protected activities. It filed respective charges alleging that the Fire Department had violated Section 10(1)(a) and (c) of the Public Employment Relations Act (PERA), MCL 423.210(1)(a) and (c). In a Decision and Recommended Order1 issued on January 5, 2021, Administrative Law Judge David Peltz found that the Employer violated Section 10(1)(c) by refusing to allow Nevin to ride a firefighting rig with his squad in retaliation for his advocacy on behalf of DFFA members, and that the actions taken by the Employer would objectively tend to restrain, interfere or coerce a reasonable employee in the exercise of his or her rights, in violation of Section 10(a)(1). -
How Cities Became Kindling: Racism and the Decline of Two Once-Great American Metropolises, Detroit and Baltimore Laura Kathlee
† Designated as an Exemplary Master’s Project for 2015-16 How Cities Became Kindling: Racism and the Decline of Two Once-Great American Metropolises, Detroit and Baltimore Laura Kathleen Ruble Faculty Advisor: Dr. Susan Thorne Department of History March 2016 This project was submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Graduate Liberal Studies Program in the Graduate School of Duke University. Copyright by Laura Kathleen Ruble 2016 Abstract Baltimore, Maryland, and Detroit, Michigan, were once sparkling examples of postwar American progress. In the early 20th century, their thriving manufacturing industries and lively cultural scenes brought wealth and acclaim, attracting a steady influx of immigrants and southern Americans searching for a share of their offerings. Like other metropolises across the American Rust Belt, however, the cities have since suffered the effects of postwar deindustrialization. Unemployment and poverty trouble urban centers that once burgeoned during those pre-WWII swells. While the roots of their urban crises are complex, decline in both Detroit and Baltimore demonstrates the powerful impact of racist practices and policies that American cities developed and implemented long before the flight of industry. In this research I explore the role that racism—in both its informal, personal manifestation and its formal, systemic manifestation—had in the decline of both cities. Prewar records including court cases, government ordinances and informal documents demonstrate that Detroit and Baltimore pioneered groundbreaking discriminatory policies and procedures in response to their growing African-American populations in the early 20th century. African Americans were systematically excluded from all but the lowest-level employment positions, resulting in low wages, high unemployment, low work satisfaction and low safety. -
