Originally formed in the 1880's, the Edgewood Fire Department operates out of a single station located in the Edgewood Borough Building. We proudly provide firefighting, vehicle rescue, search & rescue, and hazardous materials services to the 3,800 residents of the borough of Edgewood.

We are primarly staffed by volunteers, but we also have a paid dispatcher/driver between 8am and midnight during weekdays. In the event of a call, our driver will respond with the appropriate truck and equipment. Volunteers will either respond to the station to ride the appropriate truck, or to the location of the call--in order to assure the best possible response and staffing for our residents.

Although our primary response area is mostly residential, we have a number of businesses, most notably the Edgewood Town Centre. We also serve the portion of I-376 between the Squirrel Hill Tunnels and the Forest Hills/Wilkinsburg exit with the assistance of Wilkinsburg and the City of Pittsburgh. The PAT East Busway runs through our borough, as well as a main line of the Norfolk Southern Railroad.
