The Borough ' s three VFD fire companies , Gill Hall , Jefferson Hills 885 Area and Floreffe , are staffed by men and women who volunteer their time and skills to serve our community . Currently , the three companies are appealing for fire fighters and residents with administrative skills to join their teams .

Collectively , our three volunteer fire departments annually answer over 400 calls , serving over 11,000 residents in an approximately 16 sq . mile area . In addition to the men and women who ride the trucks and put out fires , our fire companies need volunteers that have backgrounds in general business , accounting , medicine , law enforcement , mechanics , construction , computers and fundraising . Nationwide , its estimated that volunteer firefighters save the American taxpayer $ 37.2 billion dollars a year in labor costs .

If you are interested in learning more about becoming either a firefighter or administrative volunteer , call the Borough offices at 412.655.7735 , and you will be put in touch with one of our fire departments . Also , you are welcome to visit the fire stations and the volunteers will be happy to show you around . All three of our VFD ’ s have Facebook pages where you can see photos and read more about their activities .

Volunteer firefighters represent over 70 % of all our nation ’ s 1.1 million firefighters . Out of the 30,125 fire departments in the US , 25,770 of those are staffed by all volunteer firefighters compared to 4,355 that are staffed by paid or career firefighters .

Thank you to our Borough firefighters who were sworn in to their administrative posts by Mayor Jan Cmar in January ceremonies .
