That is over 75 years worth of service to the Plum Borough Community!
The fire company was formed in the summer of 1949 and was chartered in October of the same year with 125 members who are all since deceased. The fire company was started when the Allegheny- Pittsburgh Coal Co. that operated a mine in Logans Ferry Heights donated the land for the building. The original charter members went to work to raise money for a fire truck. The department's first truck was an American-LaFrance pumper that had a hand crank to start it.
Women in the community formed a ladies auxiliary in 1949. Women became associate members of the fire department in order to help serve the fire company and raise funds for new equipment. To this day, auxiliary membership is open to all. To find out more information on becoming an auxiliary member, and how you can help support us without the fire fight visit our Volunteer Positions tab.
