About The Ross Township Fire Police
History
The Ross Fire Police Unit was founded on January 1, 1978, fulfilling a mission by it's members. The result was to render professional Fire Police services for the citzens of Ross Township.
The membership, both men and women, is derived from all eight Volunteer Fire Companies in Ross Township. We are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our primary function is to assist all the Ross Fire Companies at fire calls.
In addition we assist at; accidents, floods, wires down, parades, funerals, crowd control, and any other details where our services are required, also providing mutual aid for surrounding Townships and Boroughs of Ross Township, under the direction and authority of the Ross Township Police Department. Those Townships and Boroughs include the following; Ben-Avon Hts., Emsworth, Etna, Kilbuck, McCandless, Millvale, Reserve, Shaler, and West View.
In September of 1995 the John A. Brenckle Memorial Hall was completed. This facility was the result of many hours of sweat and equity by it's members. Housed in this facility are three fully equiped traffic control vehicles and all other needed safety equipment used on emergencies and details.
The Ross Township Fire Police continue to carry on the legacy that our fallen leader, John A Brenckle, set fourth. We are constantly updating equipment and training so that we can continue to grow as a premier fire police unit.
