National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week
Behind every call for help is a calm voice, a steady hand, and someone who refuses to let chaos win.
This week, we recognize the incredible professionals of Monroeville Communications and Allegheny County Emergency Services—the ones who answer the call, gather the details, and make sure help is already on the way before we even hit the road.
They are the unseen first responders. The steady presence in someone’s worst moment. The link between panic and action.
It takes a special kind of person to do this job—focused, compassionate, and unshakable when it matters most.
To our dispatchers: we hear you, we trust you, and we couldn’t do what we do without you.
Thank you for everything you do—today and every day. 📞🚨

Today, members of the department took advantage of the beautiful spring weather to complete a full station spring cleaning detail. 🧼🚒
Crews deep cleaned the station both inside and out, spent time organizing storage rooms, and completed some outdoor improvements including installing new garden hose reels and refreshing the mulch in our planter beds.
All of this work was completed by our dedicated members on a completely volunteer basis. This behind-the-scenes effort is a true testament to the pride our volunteers take in their department and community, helping ensure we’re always ready to serve safely and effectively.
Thank you to everyone who came out and put in the work today—your time and dedication do not go unnoticed!

Just after 10 am this morning, Monroeville Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched to a residential structure fire in Company 1's first due district. Shortly after dispatch, it was updated to a fire inside the attached garage. C-41 first arrived on scene and established command. Engine 12 arrived as the first due engine and pulled the primary attack line. Engine 41 arrived shortly behind, establishing a water supply and pulling a backup line. Truck 4 laddered the alpha side of the building and assisted with overhaul. The fire was contained to the garage. The Allegheny County Fire Marshall was requested to the scene.
