Our History

The Berryhill Fire Department was formed in 1954. With a single truck stored in Chief Homer Jackson’s garage, the department began protecting the community of Berryhill.

Our First Station

Later that year, founding member, Waymond Ray organized an effort to build a station located on W. 33rd street, our current Station 2. In 1977, the department formed a protection district to allow the district to hire a paid staff of 3 firefighters.

Our Second Station

In the early 80’s, the community began the construction of a new station on 65th W. Avenue, currently across from the Berryhill Activity Center.​
