It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that the Belleville Volunteer Fire Department announces the passing of Firefighter Don Rickenbaker.

Don played an instrumental role in the organization and establishment of our department in 1982. His dedication and commitment helped lay the foundation for the department we are today. More recently, Don returned to serve in a support role, continuing his commitment to the department and the community.

We ask that you keep Don’s wife, family, friends, and fellow firefighters in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
