South Fayette Township recognizes the dedicated, hardworking volunteers of the South Fayette Township fire service.
South Fayette is fortunate to be served by four high-quality fire departments that are staffed 100 percent by volunteers.
We appreciate their sacrifice and community service as they devote time away from family to respond to emergency calls, protect our homes and businesses, participate in training and organize fundraisers.
With so many duties on their plate, all four fire departments need more volunteers.
Adults and youth have many opportunities to help, including options that don’t require going into a burning building. For example, volunteers can assist with special events, computer work and support tasks.
The fire service also needs the community's ongoing financial support.
Our volunteer fire departments—Fairview, Oak Ridge, South Fayette and Sturgeon—could not survive without direct donations from individuals, families and businesses.
The township recognizes our fire departments as a valuable public safety service and assists by offsetting operating costs and offering tax incentives to volunteers.
Our costs would be much higher if it weren’t for the devoted volunteers who have a passion to serve.
We hope you will share our enthusiasm and pride for the fire service by continuing to provide financial support to your local fire station and, if possible, by volunteering.
Sincerely,
John M. Barrett
South Fayette Township Manager
