Linden Fire Department is headed by Chief Marilyn Price and was started in 1981. We protected mostly small farms and ranches. In the beginning there was not much more than one old Engine and an old Army gas truck that was used as a Water Tender. Linden Fire has grown quite a bit since then along with the community. We now protect fifty seven square miles with more than a three thousand population and growing every day. Our department is a combination of paid and volunteer firefighters and we have an ISO rating of 7 Dwelling.
