MVFC1 responds to over 2,000 calls annually & boasts one of the best live-in programs in the state! We are also home to The Busiest Engine in Monroeville!
192 Truck and 192 Squad are back in station after a great evening participating in the Pitcairn Fireman’s Parade and supporting their annual carnival!
We’re also proud to announce that 192 Squad brought home a trophy for Best Appearing Squad/Utility! 🏆
Events like these are about more than just showing off the trucks, they’re an opportunity to build relationships with our neighboring fire departments, strengthen the fire service community, and show our support for the departments that stand beside us when the tones drop.
Throughout the evening, we also ran 2 calls for an odor of natural gas inside a structure, and a possible commercial structure fire which was unfounded.
Thank you to our friends in Pitcairn for having us! We’re always proud to support our neighboring departments and communities.
