BELLBROOK FIRE/EMS

Welcome to Fire Station 22

Fire Station 22 is located at 4254 West Franklin Street, the corner of West Franklin Street and North Linda Drive.

The station is manned evenings and nights, as well as on weekends. It is home to all training activities, as well as committee meetings and many other department functions.

The bay holds one ladder truck, one rescue truck, one engine and two medics. Full-time and part-time personnel run "first-out" -- which means they take Medic 22 or Engine 22 to the call, depending on the nature of the emergency.

Medic 22 is an ambulance equipped to handle almost any emergency. Paramedics and EMTs are able to look at a picture of your heart with a heart monitor, give you oxygen to help you breathe, and even start intravenous lines, just like at the hospital. The medic also carries equipment to help you if you're injured. If you have a broken bone, they can put it in a splint, or if you' re in a car accident, they can put you on a backboard to keep your back from becoming more injured.

Rescue 22 is a heavy rescue truck capable of carrying 5 firefighters. On board you'll find the "Jaws of Life," a set of hydraulic tools we use to cut apart cars. You'll also find rope rescue equipment, wood for shoring cars or buildings and even a way for firefighters to fill air bottles at a fire when they're empty. Rescue 22 carries EMS equipment as well, including an AED to provide first aid to heart attack victims.

Ladder 22 is a 75-foot aerial ladder capable of reaching the top of any building in Bellbrook. It has space for 5 firefighters and carries numerous ground ladders, rescue saws and firefighting tools. It also has a water pump and a tank, so it can perform just like a fire engine.

Engine 22 is our newest engine.  It is capable of carrying 4 firefighters.  Engine 22 carries 750 gallons of water as well as a foam firefighting system.  This foam system allows us to use less water to put out a fire. The foam and water mixture is more effective at extinguishing and keeping a fire out.  Engine 22 also carries its own set of  hydraulic rescue tools, including the "Jaws of Life", and its own medical bag that has almost everything in it that the Medics have.


Medic 23 is a reserve ambulance that can be used in place of Medic 21 or Medic 22.  This reserve ambulance is fully equiped and always ready to be placed into action.

One of the newest additions to our family is ATV 22, our Fast Response Vehcle. This vehicle is used during festivals and football games to assist with moving sick or injured persons.  The Bellbrook Firefighters would like to say thank you to our sponsors who helped us purchase this piece of equipment.
