Incidents and emergencies handled by the Belmont Fire Department.
Yummy Sept. 3 – Just before 7 p.m. on Labor Day Engine 1 was sent to Wilson Avenue for the report of an outdoor odor of smoke. When they got there, the crew reported finding the fire; it was a backyard barbecue on Francis Street. There is no description what was being grilled. Early morning odor Sept. 4 – It was coming close to 2 a.m. when a firefighter in one of the command cars smelled the strong odor of natural gas at Waverley Crossing on Trapelo Road.

Incidents and emergencies handled by the Belmont Fire Department.
Young idle hands Jan. 30 – At 3:03 p.m., two engines, a ladder truck, the rescue vehicle and a command car were directed to the new Wellington Elementary School on Orchard Street when a fire alarm was pulled in the builiding.

The School's staff will try to determine who was responsible and "educate" the student. Where there's smoke ... no fire Jan. 30 – Nearly two hours after the false alarm at the school, the same group of fire equipment were sent to a Common Street service station in Cushing Square for numerous reports of heavy smoke coming from the building. Once there, fire personnel found an oil fuel …
