Facts about WTVFC :
--Washington Twp. Fire Company was established
in 1961 , to protect the lives and property of the residents. Prior to this
date, the Township was protected by the Oklahoma Fire Company.
--Washington Township Fire Company is
staffed by professional Volunteers, which means ,none of our members receives any financial
compensation for the many hours required to operate this Company. We are
supported by our Township through a fire tax, that pays approx. 25% of the
annual operating budget of the Fire Company. The other 75% is raised by
our fund raising projects, so please support these projects.
--Washington Township is located in the northern
tip of Westmoreland County , PA , USA.
--The primary service area is approx. 30 square
miles , while we provide primary fire protection to this area , we also provide primary rescue services to many surrounding
communities .
-- In 1976, the first aerial truck was
purchased, a 1976 Pierce 55' Tele-Squirt for a purchase price of $102,000.
Compare
this to the purchase of the 2002 Pierce 75' Quint, with a purchase price
of $570,000.
