We welcome new members; both firefighters and administrative help is always needed. Quite simply, you have to be a resident of South Park Township, work in the township or live in a municipality that borders South Park Township.
We also have a Junior Membership program for anyone between the ages 16-18 years old.
You can get in touch with anyone on our Membership Committee by calling the station at 412-655-4844 or fill out the inqury form on our Join page.
Our fire department is comprised of two organization structures. For firefighting, we have a Fire Chief, Assistant Fire Chief, Deputy Fire Chief, two Captains, and four Lieutenants. Our apparatus maintenance is overseen by a Chief Engineer and two Assistant Engineers.
Administratively, the department as a whole is governed by a Board of Directors led by a President, Vice President and Financial Secretary. A Recording Secretary keeps a record of all meetings held by the department.
We also have a Relief Association whose statutory purpose is to administer benefits to members who were injured in the line of duty and to purchase safety equipment to prevent line of duty injuries.
Absolutely! All we ask is that you make those arrangements with our Fire Prevention Officer by calling the station at: 412-655-4844 or fill out the form here.
We are constantly raising funds for operating expenses and equipment replacement in order to keep your tax burden to a minimum. In 2004, South Park Township graciously agreed to provide the department $5,000 to partially cover the cost of purchasing Personal Protective Equipment which protects our firefighters.
The township also provides: fuel, vehicle and building insurance, a portion of an accidental death benefit insurance policy, workers compensation insurance and a great working relationship!
Our drills are on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th Tuesday nights of each month from 7pm till 10pm. Some on what we drill on are hose line advancements, vehicle rescue, ventilation, Haz-Mat, and much much more.
These drills are made up from the B.V.F.D. Training Committee. We are always ready to expand our experience/skills, because our #1 Priority is our safety and the safety of the South Park Twp. Residence.
