According to the Dictionary of the History of Venezuela, the first investigations on the creation of a fire department in Venezuela date back to 1882. Maracaibo (Zulia state) was the first city in the country to make the initiative possible.
On February 24, 1936, the first institution of the Caracas Fire Department was born, through a decree of the Governor of the Federal District.
