| The Bedford Hills Fire Department which was incorporated on February 4, 1903, celebrated our 110th Anniversary on May 18, 2013, with a firematic parade. Despite the overcast weather, and late afternoon shower, a total of 28 fire departments and ambulance corps marched with pride down through the center of downtown Bedford Hills which is known as Depot Plaza.
