From a a bucket brigade in 1841 to two fire stations and seven fire trucks today, the David Crockett Fire Department ventures on. It took 32 years to move from a hand pumper to a hand drawn steam fire engine, and then finally to a motorized truck in 1928. The original steam pumper is still owned by Crockett and is on display at the old station on Lafayette St.

The one thing that has never changed for Crockett is the individuals who put out the fires. Just like in 1841 when twenty-seven residents of Gretna, LA got together to form an organized volunteer fire department, the firemen are there when you need them.

Funds from the weekly bingo sessions help with the day to day operations of David Crockett Fire Dept. Whether it's purchasing much needed equipment or financing the repair of one of its fire trucks, Crockett appreciates the financial help it receives from the Gretna Bingo Palace bingo games.

Bingo games for Crockett are held on Tuesday at 3PM and on Saturday nights at 8PM.
