Engine and Rescue 84 were requested to assist North Sewickley (Station 13) with a working residential structure fire. Members assisted in fire suppression, overhaul, and providing mobile air cascade. At the time of dispatch the temperature was -9 degrees and remained in the single digits throughout the incident. Bridgewater (Station 28) provided station fill for New Brighton.

🚨BIG NEWS FOR NEW BRIGHTON FIRE DEPARTMENT🚨

The New Brighton Fire Department is pleased to announce that we have been awarded $57,404 to purchase a new utility vehicle, which will serve as a vital command unit for our department.

This funding was made possible through a 2024 Local Share Account (LSA) grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development. This new vehicle will modernize our fleet and improve our ability to coordinate on-scene operations, ensuring we can continue to serve the New Brighton community effectively and safely.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to PA State Rep. Roman Kozak and State Senator Elder Vogel Jr. for their assistance in the grant application process. We are grateful for their strong, continued support of the fire service and their dedication to public safety in our district.
