Bellevue Fire Control Board
The Bellevue Fire Department evolved from a Village owned and
operated department, formed in 1882, to a community fire
department that serves the surrounding townships as well. This
transformation began in 1934 when the fire department was
instructed to begin responding to fire alarms outside the Village
limits. The transformation was completed in 1955 when Assyria
Township, Bellevue Township, Convis Township, and the Village of
Bellevue entered into an agreement to join together to organize
the fire department into what it closely resembles today. A fire
control board that consists of members from these three townships
and the Village now operates the fire department.
