Our Mission

Members of Your Marshall Township Volunteer Fire Department and Our Spartan S180 Pumper

Our mission is threefold:

  • Save lives and protect property by providing fire, rescue, and emergency services to the residents of Marshall Township, Pennsylvania.
  • Foster improved fire safety practices, thus helping to prevent fires and save lives.
  • Make educational materials on this website available, hence providing a resource to our community and beyond.

We are proud to provide fire and rescue services to the residents of Marshall Township, Pennsylvania. The township is 16 square miles and located approximately 20 miles north of the city of Pittsburgh.. It is home to over 9000 residents and several hundred businesses. Four out of every 10 calls are for automobile accidents. Hence we are part of the emergency response team for portions of major highways that traverse our township. Consequently, our responses include portions of I79, Route 19 and the PA Turnpike.

The Department operates out of two stations (270 Northgate Drive and 465 Knob Road). At these stations, our equipment includes two fire engines, one heavy rescue truck, and several specialty vehicles. In 2023, we responded to almost 500 incidents. These included calls in Marshall Township and mutual aid response for Wexford (Pine & Richland), Bradford Woods, Cranberry, and Mars.
