Bayport Fire Department

The Bayport Fire Department was started in 1891 as the Bayport Hose Company by some local residents of Bayport. All of the money was funded by donations until the late 1920's when the Bayport Fire District Tax Municipality was created. The Fire Department was incorporated in the Late 1890's as the Bayport Fire Department and two subdivisions or Com... panies were created; the Hose Company No.1 and the Hook and Ladder Company No.1. Sometime in the late 1940's the third company, Engine Company No.1 was created. Today in addition to the three companies, there is also the Fire Police Company which is responsible for Traffic Control and Scene Security at emergencies, the Rescue Squad which comprises of Special Rescue Situations and EMS, and The Water Rescue Team which is responsible for all Near and Off Shore Water Rescues which Bayport is heavily involved in. The Training Committee sees to it that you are well trained in all that we do, so it's not just firefighting.Read More
