In 1877, one of the oldest societies in Saldus was established - the Saldus Volunteer Firefighters' Association and in 1911 the society's house was built. There were rooms in the house for placing fire extinguishers and a hall with a stage was also built. One of the possible reasons for founding the association is the great fire that took place in Saldus in 1869, which also destroyed the most beautiful building in Saldus at that time.
The building is currently in a state of emergency and is likely to be demolished.
