Four firefighters, three in turnout gear and one in a black medical jacket, walk with their backs to the camera on a paved surface outside a building. The building has a sign reading 'belin health GATE.' The firefighters are wearing helmets with red and yellow stripes and are equipped with various gear.

Our journey begins with the historic fire station that now houses our distillery. Built in 1938 by local residents, businesses and firefighters, it served as the local department in the community until 1989 when a new fire station was built just down the road.

During those 51 years, many traditions were forged and human spirits were tested. Tragedies were experienced and shoulders were leaned on. Community service was born and commitments transformed into passion. Today, we honor that legacy by preserving the building and the memories it houses.
