The FIRE BRIGADE is a Rock & Roll party band consisting entirely of Miami-Dade County Fire Fighters. FIRE BRIGADE started rockin' back in 2004 in between the many calls at Firehouse 16 in Homestead Florida, banging on buckets and guitars every time they got a chance.

The FIRE BRIGADE was founded by "Phat" Eddy Alarcon (Lead guitarist, vocals) Ryan "Rownsend" Townsend (Bass, vocals) and Jorge "The Animal" Martinez (drummer). They were encouraged by friends to make their sound legit, as a high octane performance band. In order to complete the "Fire Tetrahedron" they needed one more element, a lead singer with the pipes and the range to fill the house. After separating the pretenders from the contenders, they found Adrian "The Front Man" Ballard as the lead vocalist.

Over the past couple of years, they've developed a growing base of great friends and supporters, including some diehard fans, who are there for every show. FIRE BRIGADE plays a wide variety of favorite Rock tunes ranging from Bon Jovi to GNR and Pearl Jam with a full set of other familiar sounds in between. Like all serious artists they are also constantly working on new songs adding to their already lengthy list. Currently, they are working on a unique sound for a first studio album they hope to release later this year.

The FIRE BRIGADE would like to thank all of their supporters, friends and especially family for always being there.
