Royal Oak's fire service traces back to 1908, when it began as an informal volunteer group meeting in William Sullivan's home. It formally organized as a volunteer department in 1913 after a major 1912 business-district fire, and transitioned to a paid, professional department in the 1920s after the village became a city in 1921. The department launched ambulance transport in 1995 and later added a paramedic/ALS program.
