🚲 Did you know Monroeville Volunteer Fire Company #1 has two emergency response bicycles? 🚲
In honor of World Bicycle Day, we’re highlighting these unique EMS resources. Equipped at the Basic Life Support (BLS) level, our bikes can be deployed to special events and emergency incidents where they may provide faster access to a patient than an ambulance or even responders on foot.
These bicycles help our volunteers navigate crowds, parks, trails, and other areas where quick access is critical.
A special thank you to UPMC East for purchasing and donating these bikes several years ago. Their support continues to help us better serve our community.

Yesterday evening, 192 Squad was requested into Chalfant for reports of smoke coming from the rear of a residence. Upon arrival of initial crews, command reported a small fire in the basement.
The crew from 192 Squad assisted with stretching a hoseline from 207 Engine to the rear of the structure and then worked alongside crews from 153, 207, and 113 to check for extension, locate hot spots, and complete extinguishment operations.
Thank you to all responding agencies for their teamwork and cooperation in quickly bringing the incident to a safe conclusion.
