Belleville Fire Department’s Bike Patrol Helps Keep Residents Safe
Posted September 29, 2021Photo credit Belleville Township: The Belleville Fire Department has launched its new bike patrol program with two EMT-trained firefighters, Dat Khong and Manny Antonio.
Among the 1,000 or so residents who attended the township’s inaugural Green Fair last weekend was one young man who scraped his leg.
Help arrived quickly despite the heavy crowds, and the boy’s wounds were soon cleaned and dressed.
It didn’t take long for the Belleville Fire Department’s new bike patrol to demonstrate that it can be a nimble, fast-responding service at fairs, concerts, sporting events or other public venues where highly trained personnel are required.

Khong, Antonio and their Fuji brand mountain bikes will surely become a familiar, welcomed presence around Belleville – especially at outdoor events this fall.
