4. A Volunteer Fire Brigade was formed in Windsor in 1863 but the effectiveness of the operations was seriously hampered by rudimentary equipment and lack of water supply. The Windsor Fire District was created in 1910 and received a contribution from Windsor Municipal Council of 44 pounds 14 shillings and 7 pence. The present fire station built in the Federation Free Classical style opened in June 1915 and was refurbished in 1996.
