Operating out of one station in Bradenville, we are responsible for the 105 square miles of Derry Township. In the township, we have approximately 14,560 residents, and run an average of 550 calls per year. We own 2 Engine-Rescue trucks, one of which is utilized mainly as an engine, and the other as our rescue. We also have a tanker truck, attack truck, squad truck, and utility/brush truck. The people who man these trucks are 37 active members that volunteer their time and money to making the township a better place, whether it is through running fire calls, assisting people, or working events throughout the township. All of our personnel are trained in firefighting operations and hazardous materials, and most of our personnel are trained in EMS, vehicle rescue, and wild land firefighting. We also have 12 members that are trained in swift water rescue and boat operations. These water rescue members are part of the Westmoreland County Team 175, which also includes New Alexandria VFD, and Lloydsville VFD. They can respond to anywhere in the state if requested or required.
