Serving Since 2000

2000 : The Consolidation

United Volunteer Fire Department was established July 1, 2000 by merging together East McKeesport Volunteer Fire Company #2 and Wall Volunteer Fire Department. At this time, we were still operating out of two stations.

2014 : One Station

Recognizing evolving needs, we moved all equipment and membership to East McKeesport's existing station on Broadway Street.
