The Blue Hills Fire Department Banquet Hall Rental Information

Our Hall is where we hold our monthly meetings and where our new members first become part of the department. This Hall is also where we hold most of our events and entertainment.

We recommend rentals be booked two weeks in advance.

This space is also available for rent; it is the perfect place to hold your next party or event.
This hall comes with tables and chairs, holds up to 108 people, and features a commercial kitchen which is not available for cooking. The room is big enough for a dance floor, and DJ when renting our Hall.
