Belle Valley Volunteer Fire Department Station #36

The Belle Valley Fire Department is a volunteer department located in the easternmost section of Millcreek Township in Erie, Pennsylvania. Your Belle Valley Volunteer Fire Department has been serving the valley for nearly 90 years. With our trained team of nearly 20 active volunteers, we annually respond to an average of 600-plus emergency medical calls, fire suppression calls, vehicle accidents, and rescue situation. We also answer public service calls such as downed wires or trees, and flooded roadways, as well as educate the community on fire safety with events such as National Night Out and fire safety training at Belle Valley Elementary School.

We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about our rich history of service, our incredible volunteers, the services we offer the community and ways you can support our organization by volunteering or donating.
