For over 100 years, the Fairchance Volunteer Fire Department (FVFD) has been dedicated to serving the community with professionalism and commitment. Located in Fairchance, Pennsylvania, we provide primary fire and rescue services to the town and many surrounding unincorporated areas.
Our firefighters undergo extensive training, including specialized instruction on handling hazardous materials. Many of our team members have an average of 20 years of experience, bringing valuable knowledge and dedication to every call. Advances in equipment and ongoing training have made us more effective in protecting lives and property today.
We were once closely affiliated with Fairchance EMS, which provided both emergency and non-emergency medical transport services. Unfortunately, Fairchance Firemen’s Ambulance ceased operations on September 1, 2016. We sincerely thank the community for its years of support. EMS Southwest now provides ambulance services to the same areas we once served, and we look forward to continuing our partnership with them in the years ahead.
For the firefighters, the department is more than than a place to go when a call comes through. Members can often be found at the department at night, sitting on folding chairs in the summer and playing cards in the winter. “We’re like one family here – we stick together when it counts. There’s a lot of pride here.’’
For over 100 years, the Fairchance Volunteer Fire Department has proudly served the community, with many firefighters averaging 20 years of service. The department was officially chartered on March 15, 1911, by the Honorable Robert C. Umbel, President Judge of the Court of Common Pleas of Fayette County, Pennsylvania.
