Mission Statement

Proudly serving since 1881, the Wellington Community Fire District protects the citizens and property of our six communities, by providing professional, courteous, and cost effective fire prevention, protection and emergency services.

Buz Anderson Fun Run/Walk Eleven Wellington Firefighters, several spouses and children rounded out a field of over one-hundred participants for the annual Buz Anderson 5k run and one mile walk, benefiting the Black River Fullbackers.  Particpants started in Firestone Park in Spencer and wound their way down the streets of the Village.  While the event raised money for the Fullbackers, most importantly, no one got hurt !! Rope Rescue Training Members of the Fire District participated in a low angle rope rescue drill on June 23.  Rope rescue team members were tasked with rescuing an "injured hiker" from a ravine.  In addition, firefighters also practiced various rope fundamentals, such as knots and anchor systems. Firefighter Transition Class Wellington firefighters Greg Frenk, Wes Chappell, Dave Roser, Rich Smith and Dusty Reynolds recently completed their Firefighter Transition course through the Lorain County Fire Chief's Association.  Joining the WFD members were eight other firefighters from Camden, Rochester, Lagrange, Grafton Township, Erhart and Spencer for this 100 hour course.  On Sunday, May 23, the class participated in live burn training in Penfield Township.
