Become Part of the Busiest Firehouse in the North Hills
Professionally Staffed by Volunteers Since 1942
Since 1942, the Berkeley Hills Fire Company has proudly served Ross Township and neighboring communities as a fully volunteer-driven department. Operating as Station 247, our team of dedicated members responds to both fire suppression and medical emergencies, covering key residential neighborhoods as well as major commercial areas like the McKnight Road corridor and Ross Park Mall.
Our Mission
As one of the busiest all-volunteer fire agencies in Allegheny County, Station 247 is committed to providing rapid, reliable emergency response, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Beyond emergency calls, we strengthen community safety by offering CPR and First Aid classes, empowering residents with lifesaving skills.
Community Resources
In addition to responding to emergency incidents, we conduct public education demonstrations, participate in fundraising activities, provide support for public events, perform apparatus maintenance, and offer a range of other support services. Our members participate in numerous regional fire schools, state certification courses, college-level courses, and National Fire Academy courses.
