Welcome to The Belington Fire Department
Established in 1939, Belington Fire Department has been providing Service to the community. The Belington Fire Department has been a volunteer fire Department since it was established. Before 1939 the community was protected by Enterprise Hose Company. The Belington Fire Department was first housed in a garage beside city hall, later it was moved on the other side of city hall to be housed on Crim Ave. In 1939 the City of Belington received a grant from WPA to construct a town hall, with the building of the town hall the first fire department was built along with the new city hall. The first piece of apparatus was Engine 39 this vehicle was purchased by the City of Belington. The Enterprise Hose Company later that year purchased Engine 39 from the City of Belington and Mayor Doc Guy Michaels, and in doing so formed the Belington Fire Department Inc. Engine 39 is still housed inside Station 3. In 1970, the Belington Fire Department moved from its house on Walnut St. behind city hall to a location on the main road through town Crim Ave, And during the flood of 1985 the Station 3 was flooded with at least 4 foot of water. In 2003, the Belington Fire Department was moved for a third time to its current location on the corner of Elliot Ave and Watkins. The new house includes a chief’s office, a dispatch room, 2 restrooms, a shower, dayroom, tool room, 7 truck bays, and a wash bay.
