BEDINGTON VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT

As the Fourth Of July weekend is here. We hope that all can enjoy time with family and friends, in a safe manor. Below you will find the ordinance from Berkeley County on the discharge of fireworks. Please if you choose to shoot off fire works and or ground based sparklers. You should keep a safe distance from homes, out building and others. All fire works should be supervised by an adult as well. When you are finished enjoying your evening; allow your fire works to cool totally by wetting them down, before disposing of them in the trash.

We wish you all a safe and happy holiday weekend!!

Pictured here are Founding Members of The Bedington Volunteer Fire Department in 1965. They are presenting Mr. Solas from the Winchester and Western Railroad Company; with a check for the deed to the then rail road property. So they and other members could under take the task of building our current Fire Station. This station is still standing and in use to this day.
