Our History
Wellston FPD Circa 1920
Incorporated in the 1950's, Mid-County FPD carries on the traditions of the original Wellston FPD originating in the late 1800's.
As the Communities grew, so did the responsibilities of the few dedicated men.
Today, our new Headquarters is centrally located on Pennsylvania Avenue and equipped with the most modern
of today's fire & rescue equipment.
