• Lifesaving Award •

On September 6th, Squad 247 was dispatched to a business on McKnight Road for an individual in cardiac arrest. Staffed by Deputy Fire Chief Brian Murray, SQ247 immediately responded and arrived to confirm a male in cardiac arrest. Working together with our colleagues at Ross West View EMSA, Ross Township Police Department, and Allegheny County Emergency Services 911, high-quality CPR, defibrillation, and advanced medical care was quickly provided. The individual was successfully transported to the hospital and, after additional treatment, returned home to begin recovery.

Last night, DFC Murray was recognized with a life-saving award by Ross Township alongside other first responders. Engine 247 was also in attendance to congratulate our brother, but had to leave early for a first due box alarm and additional emergency calls.

Our highly trained Fire & EMS Volunteers staff in-house, 24/7, to provide the best quality of service to our community and beyond. Visit www.station247.org/join to learn more about joining one of the busiest firehouses in the county.

Engine 247 operated as the 2nd Due Engine in Company 264’s area today for a fire in an auto repair shop.

Just after 3am this morning, The North Hills Engine Company and both Squads responded on Box 253-001 with 7 volunteers to a reported house on fire. Engine 247 arrived first due to find smoke showing from a 2 story single family and located a fire in the basement. E247 made quick work and extinguished the fire preventing further extension while operating with 297 Truck. Company 247 operated for an hour and a half before returning to service.

Working smoke detectors alerted the residents to the presence of fire and allowed them to evacuate quickly. Early detection of the fire ensured prompt notification for fire departments to respond. Remember to test your smoke detectors regularly and replace expired ones, or install ones where absent in your home. If you need assistance with smoke detectors, reach out to us, Ross Twp. Fire Marshall, or RFES.

At tonight’s meeting, multiple members were recognized for their actions at a vehicle accident in McCandless last month. Engine 247 responded with 6 and arrived shortly after 188 Rescue. The two companies worked in sync to lift the vehicle and free a motorcyclist who was pinned underneath the frame.
