Penn Hills Volunteer Fire Department Station 225
The Thad Stevens Volunteer Fire Company No. 5, established in 1929 by concerned local citizens, was created to enhance fire protection in the Penn Hills area. After securing a state charter and fundraising for equipment, they effectively began their mission with a 500-gallon American La France fire truck.
Throughout its history, the fire company has demonstrated resilience, notably rebuilding a fireproof station after a devastating fire in 1941. With significant upgrades to vehicles and equipment over the years, Thad Stevens Volunteer Fire Company No. 5 has become one of the best-equipped fire services in the region, contributing to lower fire insurance rates for local residents.
