The Bedford Firefighters Association is a nonprofit organization made of the members of the Bedford Fire Department. The purpose of the association is to interact with the Bedford Fire Department with its responsibilities regarding the suppression of fire, the performance of rescue services and fire prevention programs. It is also to accept and raise funds for the purchase of equipment for the fire department and rescue services.

The members of the Firefighters Association raise funds through special programs and the annual Bedford Firemen's Ball held each May. Through fundraising, the members are able to support the purchase of necessary equipment to protect the citizens of Bedford and provide the fire prevention program each year as well as fund the Norman Richards Scholarship.
