Welcome to the official web site of the Fire Department of Bellevue-Dayton (FDBD).

The FDBD was established on July 1, 2002 through a merger of the Bellevue Fire Department and the Dayton Fire Department. The FDBD protects the communities of Bellevue and Dayton, in Northern Kentucky. These cities are located in Campbell County and are bounded by the Ohio River to the north, the City of Newport to the west, the City of Ft. Thomas to the east and south, and the City of Woodlawn to the south. These cities are primarily residential with central business districts and small industrial areas. Both communities existence dates back over 100 years. Prior to the merger both fire departments operated as combination departments. The FDBD presently consists of 16 full-time emergency personnel, 3 part-time personnel, and 23 volunteer firefighters.

A 6 person Fire Board administers the FDBD. Each Mayor appoints 3 people to the Board, 2 council members and a citizen at large. The FDBD is formed through an inter-local agreement and financed by equal contributions from each city and proceeds from EMS billing.
