Mare Island Naval Shipyard Fire Department and Museum The Mare Island Fire Department was created in 1854 and was the first fully paid fire department in the State of California.

This site is dedicated to those who worked there and served their Country in doing so. It was also home to Local F-48, IAFF From 2/7/2013 to 2/7/2014, this site is dedicated to the memory of Fire Chief Bud Miller, Fire Chief Jack Tschida and Fire Chief James D. Greig (who actually died of a heart attack suffered while on duty on Nov. 24, 1965 and who served as Fire Chief of Mare Island for over 30 years, making him the longest serving Fire Chief in the history of Mare Island Naval Shipyard). Chief Greig's name is now on the Fallen Firefighter Memorial Wall in Sacramento after I nominated him for the honor. His family was there for the ceremony and donated the memorial flag given to them in his honor to the Mare Island Museum.
