Administrative history
The Devon Fire Department was originally organized as St. Marys Water and Fire Department at a meeting held 1 April 1908. The volunteer fire company was to consist of 12 men, one captain, and one second captain, all to be elected at the annual meeting of ratepayers. It was to serve the community of St. Marys, located on the north side of the St. John River opposite Fredericton, New Brunswick. A. Wilfred Coombs was named the department's first captain and Walter Crouse, second captain. The town of Devon was incorporated in 1917 and included the former communities of St. Marys, Gibson, Nashwaak Station, North Devon, and South Devon. In November 1918 the St. Marys fire company, along with several others located in the amalgamated communities, became part of the Devon Fire Department, which was still functioning in 1933.
