Brighton Area Fire company history timeline

1925

By autumn, 1925, a group of civic minded citizens concluded that formation of a fire district to serve the community could not be delayed further without consequences.

1927

In 1927, the Brighton Fire District purchased a lot from the Buckland property facing Elmwood Avenue and siding on Winton Road.

1930

By the spring of 1930, the initial steps in establishing our fire district by Walter were complete.

1931

By forming its own training school behind Number 1 Firehouse in 1931, the department further sought to improve its proficiency.

1961

On August 2, 1961 the department responded to a call at 1341 Westfall Road.

1970

As a new decade broke in 1970, ten young men between the ages of 14 and 18 were welcomed by the Brighton Fire Department and together Explorer Post No.513 was formed.

Early in the 1970, firefighters were called to a fire in the basement of the Administration Building at St John Fisher College.

1973

A “second-time” fire was fought at the Maplewood Inn on July 1 1,1973, one having extensively damaged the famed local landmark 15 years earlier.

1974

Despite an almost immediate response, fire raged through the Twelve Corners shopping area, February 1, 1974, destroying Fox’s Delicatessen and four adjoining shops.

2016

The next call to action, however, proved to be quite real as Doctor Paine’s barn on Penfield Road burst into flames and did a reported $10,000 ($135,000 in 2016’s dollars) worth of damage.
