‘Twas the day before cookout, and here at the hall,
Preparations were underway once more for you all.

The tables were lined up, supplies stacked with care,
Ready for hungry supporters soon to be there.

The grill’s standing by for the burgers and dogs,
The fry cutters waiting beside bags of spuds.

The wings are all ready, the beans set aside,
Just waiting for tomorrow when the crowd will arrive.

So if you are hungry and wondering what to do,
Stop out and support…your local firefighters too.

We’ll have cheeseburgers sizzling, and hot dogs on buns,
Fresh-cut fries, chicken wings, and food for everyone.

Bring family and friends and stop by for a plate,
We’re looking forward to seeing you - and we can’t wait! 🚒🔥🍔🌭🍟

All gave some, and some gave all.
Today we reflect and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, so that we may continue to live as free citizens. We are forever in your debt.

We’re in our Dräger era now…😎

Last evening we took delivery of our brand new Dräger SCBA’s. After an introductory training by our wonderful sales reps at Howell Rescue Systems, our members were made familiar with the ins and outs of these new packs, and after everyone was confident, these were placed into service, and will provide our members with safe and reliable breathing air for at least the next 15 years.

This was a major investment in our department and its members, and a big change too. We did our due diligence, shopping around, and demoed several brands and models, just like if you were buying a car. This is something that will be with us for many years to come, and we all wanted to make sure we’re all in agreement.

This purchase also wouldn’t have been possible without the grant money we received with the help of our State Representative Mandy Steele. She is a champion for all first responders, and we are glad to have her in our corner, fighting for us all in Harrisburg. This picture is quite literally your tax dollars at work.

Thank you to her, thank you to Howell, and thanks to all of our followers for your continued support of your local West Tarentum firefighters.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Boroughs of Tarentum and Brackenridge are coming together to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the United States with a special community parade honoring America’s history and the spirit of our region.

As our nation prepares to mark 250 years of independence in 2026, our communities are proud to take part in this historic milestone with a celebration that brings residents, families, organizations, first responders, and local businesses together.

We look forward to celebrating America 250 with the community!

Special thanks to the Tarentum Recreation Board for putting the event together for this historic moment.

Calling all fishermen, hunters, carnivores, and anyone who likes a few Ben Franklin’s in their hand!

30 days of winning this September, we have teamed up with Eureka Fire-Rescue to bring you the “Sportsmen’s Dream” raffle. Each day you have a chance to win fishing packages, meats, cold hard cash, and some things that make lead fly really really fast (I think you know what that is, but we don’t need the FB police coming after us)

Tickets will be going out to members soon, as always you can contact us or Eureka here on FB as well, and we’ll be happy to assist. You can also mail in cash or check to

Robert Jones watched firetrucks race past his Tarentum home two years ago to battle a house fire on West 11th Avenue. He walked into Summit Hose the next day and asked to join. “I knew right then that it was something I wanted to do,” said Jones, 19. Jones didn’t

Today, our department participated in a mock DUI crash demonstration for local high school students ahead of prom season. The event was designed to show the very real and devastating consequences of driving under the influence.
Multiple agencies worked together to make this educational event possible, including local law enforcement, EMS, fire departments, and school staff. Our department was responsible for establishing and managing the landing zone for the medical helicopter (Life Flight 5) during the scenario.
We hope this demonstration leaves a lasting impact on the students and encourages everyone to make safe, responsible decisions behind the wheel. One poor choice can change lives forever.

We’re proud to announce that Summit Hose has officially expanded our fire suppression capabilities with the addition of a new aerial unit.

After careful consideration, the department has acquired a Boeing 737 capable of large-scale water drops for emergency operations. This places us among the most advanced fire departments in the region.

Due to minor space limitations at the station, the aircraft will be temporarily staged on West 7th Avenue until a hangar can be constructed.

Motorists are advised to use caution when traveling through the area and expect delays, especially during taxiing operations.

We appreciate the public’s understanding as we continue to enhance our service to the community. The new 282 Jet will be placed into service today, April 1, 2026.
