The Cheatham County Firefighters Association was created in 1982. The original charter consisted of leaders from seven fire departments including; Pegram Fire Department, Kingston Springs Fire Department, Cheatham County Volunteer Fire Department, Cheatham County Rescue Squad, Pleasant View Volunteer Fire Department, Claylick Volunteer Fire Department, and Ashland City Fire Department.

       Each of these fire department agreed to work together so they could better serve those in need always keeping in mind the safety of those who live throughout the county.

    The Association has gone through changes over the years including three departments that are no longer in service; Cheatham County Volunteer Fire Department, Cheatham County Rescue Squad, Claylick Volunteer Fire Department. However, three others departments have been started and are now part of the association, Two Rivers Volunteer Fire Department, Henrietta Volunteer Fire Department, and Harpeth Ridge Volunteer Fire Department.
