Belding Fire Department

The Fire Department is located behind Belding City Hall at 120 S. Pleasant Street.

Please call 911.

City of Belding ordinance requires visible house numbers at or near the front entrance of all residences and businesses within the city limits. Visible street numbers are critical to emergency service personnel when trying to locate the origin of an emergency call.

Develop a plan with your family about what to do in case of a fire and practice it. Plan two ways out of every room. Have a prearranged meeting place outside for everyone to gather. Once you are out, stay out! Call the fire department from outside of the house or from neighbors.

City ordinance requires residents who wish to have recreational bonfires to first obtain a permit from the Fire Department. Please contact the Fire Department at 794-1900 ext. 212 to schedule a bonfire pit inspection. Brush fires or the burning of yard wastes is prohibited within the city.

Open burning in the Township is regulated by State of Michigan rules. A Department of Natural Resources Burning Permit must be obtained from the Fire Department by anyone who is going to burn brush, grass or leaves. The burning of construction materials or tires is strictly prohibited. For further information call 794-1900 ext 212.

Emergency vehicle size has increased greatly over the years, due to the growing types of emergency responses made by fire departments. Residences, which are located any distance from the main road, may have driveways that are too narrow or have low height restrictions due to overhanging tree limbs. Restrictive driveways may prevent fire or other emergency vehicles from reaching an emergency scene.

The City of Belding Fire Department will provide fire prevention programs or fire station tours to groups of any age. Call to set an appointment.
