Yesterday, 171 units and mutual aid companies were dispatched to the 300 block of East 11th Avenue for a reported house fire.
171 Engine arrived to find smoke and fire showing from a three-story single-family dwelling. Due to the building’s balloon-frame construction and numerous void spaces, crews faced challenges locating and extinguishing hidden fires throughout the building. Residents reported a possible lighting strike as the cause, the fire is under investigation by the ACFM office.

Last night, 171 Engine arrived to find heavy fire showing from a two-story end of the row vacant dwelling. While the bulk of the fire was being knocked down in the two vacant units, crews from 171 Engine and 203 Engine were making entry into the exposure when a violent explosion occurred, pushing members off the front porch and causing minor burns to one firefighter.

Steel Valley High School

Early this afternoon, 171 Engine and Truck operated on a three-alarm fire in the borough of Braddock.

The firehouse pole was invented in 1878 by Captain David Kenyon of Chicago’s Engine Company No. 21. Captain Keyon wanted to speed up emergency response times and replace slow, narrow, and dangerous spiral staircases.

Our firehouse pole was 1 of 2 fire poles installed in one of our original fire stations in the early 1900s. When the new firehouse was built in the early 2000s This pole was installed and the other fire pole was donated to Swissvale Fire Department. Over 120 years later, members polish and use this piece of history that stays with us!
