Johann Steyer, mještanin Ljutomera, bio je glavni inicijator osnivanja Vatrogasnog društva u Ljutomeru, kasnije se smatra i prvim poznatim starješinom društva (1881.). Udruga se zvala die Freiwillige Feuerwehr u Luttenbergu. Prilikom osnivanja udruga je posjedovala dvije male prskalice, kola za prijevoz vode, dvije bačve i drveno skladište za svu opremu. Godine 1872. društvo je kupilo prijenosnu prskalicu Jauk'sche i opremu za nju. Nakon smrti prvog poznatog voditelja društva, Johanna Steyera, 1889. godine, upravljanje je preuzeo bivši zamjenik ravnatelja Heinrich Sideritsch. Od 1881. do 1890. godine udruga je imala 44 člana, a 1885. godine, između ostalog, u udruzi se uvode oznake na odorama članova i dodjeljuju se priznanja članovima za petogodišnje djelovanje u udruzi. Godine 1892. društvo kupuje novu protupožarnu prskalicu većeg protoka. Od 1882. do 1901. godine udruga je intervenirala u ukupno 35 požara, kako je zapisano u kronici. Godine 1901. u udruzi su bila samo 34 člana. Raspad Austro-Ugarske Monarhije i stvaranje nove države Kraljevine SHS 1918. godine donijeli su promjene. Tako je 1920. godine, prema pravilima novoosnovanog Jugoslavenskog vatrogasnog saveza, društvo preimenovano u Dobrovoljno vatrogasno društvo Ljutomer. Društvo je bilo jedno od prvih vatrogasnih društava u slovenskoj Štajerskoj, koje je počelo djelovati u okviru Jugoslavenskog vatrogasnog saveza. Na čelo udruge došao je Ljutomerčanin Alojz Rajh, koji je 1923. godine dao ostavku i naslijedio ga je Martin Mihalič. više na PGD LJUTOMER
