The Bayport Fire House Department was organized by the residents of Bayport in August of 1891 as the Bayport Hose Company. Surviving solely on donations, they purchased a hose cart and built the first firehouse.
A few years later the Hook & ladder company was formed and the name was changed to the Bayport Fire Department.
The Bell inscription reads:
1892
The bell was purchased with a portion of the proceeds of a fair organized and managed by Edith Church Post age 10 years. May Stoppani Harris age 10 years.
Small Plaque reads:
In loving Memory of Departed Men and Women of the Bayport Fire Department
