1892-2022: It is bittersweet to announce that after 130 years of honorable and selfless service the AVFD is merging/consolidating with another station, the Sharpsburg Volunteer Fire Dept. Going forward we will jointly be known as the Southern Allegheny Valley Emergency Service (SAVES). This is the consequence of increased operating cost, declining membership, increased emergency volume, and other issues that impact not only us, but the entirety of the fire service today. Thank you, Aspinwall for your support and for all the great memories. Content has been removed from this LinkedIN page, but the plan is to keep the page up as a memorial to the First Street Express & Watchdogs on the Hill. The Aspinwall Fire Department (AVFD) was founded in 1892 and is an All-Volunteer emergency services agency serving the Borough of Aspinwall and surrounding communities. Designated as Allegheny County Station 102, the AVFD operates two engines, a heavy rescue, and a squad vehicle out of two stations in the suburbs of Pittsburgh. The AVFD responds to fires, vehicle incidents, specialized rescue (ex. rope, water, confined space), hazardous materials incidents, EMS/QRS, and more.
