National Weather Service Alerts for Allegheny County, PA

Welcome to the Official Website for the Franklin Park Volunteer Fire Company
We are a 100% volunteer organization established in 1922, providing fire and rescue services to the residents of Franklin Park Borough in Allegheny County. Originally chartered as the Ingomar Volunteer Fire Company No. 1, our members have protected this community for more than a century. In 1993, the Company formed a lasting partnership with the Borough, which agreed to guarantee the fire company's funding and, beginning in 1997, assume the purchase of all new fire apparatus. In return, our volunteer firefighters and fire police dedicate their time to training, Fire Safety Education, and responding to emergency calls. Designated as the Borough's official Emergency Operations Center in 1994, we remain a proud model of cooperation between local government and community volunteerism.
