Our Meeting Hall is where we hold our monthly meetings, and is where new members first truly become part of the department. This hall is also where we hold most of our family and entertainment events, such as our Christmas Party and our annual Communion Breakfast. Many members of the community are first introduced to this part of the firehouse at our annual Fire Prevention Open House, when we display historical exhibits there.

This space is also available for rent; it is the perfect place to hold your next party or event. People have held everything from Baby Showers to Birthday Parties and from Welcome Home Parties to Weddings at our hall. This room is also very popular as a place to hold children’s birthday parties, which come with a free fire safety presentation.

This hall comes with tables and chairs, hold up to 100 people, and features a commercial kitchen which is great for do it yourselfers or professional caterers. The hall features a wet bar, restrooms and a coat room. The room is big enough for a dinner party and a dance floor, as many people also hire a DJ when renting our Hall.

The Rental of this Hall funds many of our volunteer recruitment and retention initiatives, as well the ongoing maintenance and future renovations of the hall itself. Call 203.323.0626 or stop by the firehouse anytime between 8 am and 8 pm for more information about holding your next exciting event at out firehouse.

Q. How many hours can my party run?

A. We offer set price points at 4, 5, and 6 hours. These times do not include setup and cleanup when guests are not present in the hall. Parties can run longer then 6 hours at an additional charge of $150 per hour. No party may run past midnight and guests should begin leaving the hall between 11:30-11:45, this is out of respect to our neighbors.

Q. Why do I need a police officer for my party?

A. The police officer is tasked with enforcing the rules and regulations signed by the renter at the time of contract. The officer also ensures that vehicles are parked properly, away from the apparatus bays, and away from the members parking spaces which are needed in the event of an emergency call. The police officer also acts as a go between for the renter and the Belltown Fire Department.

Q. How many tables and chairs are in the hall?

A. We have seating for 100 people which is the maximum capacity for any party. There are between eight and ten 52 inch round tables and five 6 foot rectangular tables.

Q. What is available in the commercial kitchen?

A. Our hall kitchen features two commercial grade ovens, a six burner stove, flat top griddle, large refrigerator and a freezer. The hall also has a full size ice machine which is available for use by renters. Please note that the refrigerator in the hall is large and can take a long amount of time to cool down if loaded with large amounts of warm drinks or foods. Please plan your party appropriately as the refrigerator is not malfunctioning.

Q. Is the hall handicap accessible?

A. Our hall is completely accessible, including the bathrooms which were recently renovated.

Q. What is required at cleanup?

A. Renters must return all tables and chairs to the racks in the storage closet, dispose of all garbage in the City of Stamford "toters" to the rear of the building, sweep the floors, and leave the space in respectable condition. Garbage left out, food stuck on floors/walls, excessive mess in bathrooms or garbage left in the parking areas are all grounds for the security deposit to be kept.

Q. Can I hold a date until I decide if I need it?

A. We have a strict policy in place restricting hold. Hall dates are available for rental on a first come first serve basis.

Q. How much money is needed at time of contract?

A. Full payment(cash or check) is due at the signing of the contract/rules and regulations form. A contract will not be signed without full payment and the hall will be left as available for others who may be interested.

Q. How long does it take to have my deposit returned?

A. Normal processing time for a security deposit is one month. Processing time may be reduced by providing a separate check for the security deposit portion of the hall fee.
