PA Fire stations - truck1882 - 11-07-2013
Quote:I don't believe your information is correct. I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a South Versailles VFD in North Versailles Township since there's also a South Versailles Township nearby.Thank you for the information. EMS12 stopped here earlier this year and said he remembered photographing a rig there many years ago, but couldn't remember the name of the company that was there. Thank you very much for the help.
As I understand the FD history there, the Sunset and Central VFDs merged to form the Sunset-Central VFD. I think one or both of these were already a merged department. Several years later, Sunset-Central VFD (213), Green Valley VFD (214), and Dixon Hollow (210) merged to become the Fire Department of North Versailles (FDNV).
As for the building in question, I believe that the Sunset VFD operated from that building and it is now the Social Hall for FDNV.

You are correct. I meant South Wilmerding, not South Versailles. Before all the mergers there were 8 fire companies at one point in North Versailles. South Wilmerding VFD, Dixon-Hollow VFD, West Wilmerding VFD, Crestas VFD, Park Terrace VFD, Sunset VFD, Arlington VFD and Green Valley VFD

I don't care how many times I've been to PA and read about the PA fire service, having 8 firehouses (at one time) protecting 8.3 square miles is simply amazing to me.
