As far as we know, the Bayport FD is the only fire department that wears the original style uniform. It has become increasingly difficult to have our uniforms made. Components of our uniforms have been imported and made from around the United States and even abroad. After over 100 years of our uniforms being personally sized and handmade, we were able to find a company in Colorado that was able to machine manufacture them.

On October 22, 1926, the Bayport Fire District municipality was created as a tax-collecting entity to provide fire protection. In the 1950's the Fire District built a new Fire Headquarters at Snedecor Ave and Railroad Street which is the current Headquarters for both the Fire District and Department.

Today, the Bayport Fire Department is stronger then ever operating with four companies (Hose, Hook and Ladder, Engine and Fire Police) and two squads (Rescue and Water Rescue), three Engines, a Hook and Ladder Truck, Brush Truck, Rescue Truck, Water Rescue Truck, two boats, three support or traffic vehicles, three chiefs cars and a bus. We have come a long way in over 100 years but we still hold close the tradition that has made us the unique department that we are.
