Early History of BFD
At a public meeting of the Town Board of Bristol on Friday, January 17, 1947, a resolution was offered to form a fire protection district. The new district would cover the entire town of Bristol. The East Bloomfield, Honeoye, and Canandaigua Fire Companies had proposed to contract with Bristol to provide fire protection for the sum of one dollar per M for each one thousand dollars assessed valuation.

In the Fall of 1952 a number of BVFD members set to work constructing the first firehouse located on Route 64 just north of County Road 32. They performed all excavation, masonry and carpentry work.
