Great question so I had to go look it up:
Why are Dalmatians considered firehouse dogs?
In the early days of the fire service, fire trucks were horse drawn. In those days nearly every firehouse had a resident Dalmatian. The job of the Dalmatian was to direct the horses, keep the horses company and guard the firehouse. Today we do not keep horses in the fire station, but many firehouses still have a Dalmatian. The resident Dalmatian is still responsible for guarding the firehouse and the fire trucks.

Same way that the German Shepards got affiliated with the police department.. Probabily because someone high up had one at one point so everyone started using them.
