Vatrogasni savez u Karlovcu osnovan je 28.6.1949 god. pod nazivom „VATROGASNI PODSAVEZ ZA GRAD I KOTAR KARLOVAC“. U svom djelovanju koordinirao je rad na području cijele općine i Kotara Karlovac, kada je djelovalo 167 dobrovoljnih vatrogasnih društava. Vatrogasni savez za grad i Kotar Karlovac djelovao je do 1955. godine, kada je postavljen novi oblik te su osnovani: Kotarski vatrogasni savez i Vatrogasni odbor općine Karlovac. Te dvije vatrogasne asocijacije djelovale su do 1963. god., kada je kotar Karlovac prestao djelovati i sav rad je prešao u nadležnost novo formiranih općina, koje su tada preuzele i domicilna dobrovoljna vatrogasna društva pod svoje okrilje. U to vrijeme dolazi do velikog razvoja vatrogastva, osnivanjem čitavog niza novih DVD-a, tako da u jednom periodu u Kotaru Karlovac, koji tada pokriva daleko veći teritorij nego što danas pokriva Županija, djeluje 211 DVD-a. Analizirajući ukupni pregled DVD-a prema godinama osnivanja, možemo konstatirati da ovako velik broj DVD-a na Kotaru govori o respektabilnoj snazi ali i tradiciji vatrogastva na ovim prostorima. Od tada, odnosno od 1963 g. do 1993. god. u Vatrogasnom savezu općine Karlovac djeluje 51 DVD od kojih je 27 teritorijalna dobrovoljna vatrogasna društva te 24 industrijska.
The Fire Brigade Association in Karlovac was founded on June 28, 1949. entitled "FIRE SUB-ASSOCIATION FOR THE CITY AND DISTRICT OF KARLOVAC". In his activities, he coordinated the work in the entire municipality and the District of Karlovac, when 167 voluntary fire brigades were active. The Fire Brigade Association for the City and District of Karlovac operated until 1955, when a new form was set up and the following were established: the District Fire Brigade Association and the Fire Brigade Committee of the Municipality of Karlovac. These two fire brigades operated until 1963, when the Karlovac district ceased to operate and all work passed into the jurisdiction of the newly formed municipalities, which were then taken over by the domicile voluntary fire brigades under their auspices. At that time there was a great development of firefighting, with the establishment of a number of new DVDs, so that in one period in the District of Karlovac, which then covers a much larger territory than today covers the County, 211 DVDs operate. Analyzing the overall overview of DVDs according to the years of establishment, we can conclude that such a large number of DVDs in the District speaks of the respectable power but also the tradition of firefighting in this area. From then, ie from 1963 to 1993. There are 51 DVDs in the Fire Brigade of the Municipality of Karlovac, of which 27 are territorial voluntary fire brigades and 24 are industrial.
