Sewickley Council plans to vote tonight to accept two fire trucks from Edgeworth as a credit towards fire services.
Sewickley Council plans to approve an amendment tonight to the Edgeworth fire protection agreement that will include a transfer of two Edgeworth fire trucks to Cochran Hose Company. The $200,000 value of the two trucks will be credited toward Edgeworth’s annual payments for fire services to Sewickley. Edgeworth Council voted in September to decertify its volunteer fire department because of a shrinking number of volunteers providing fire protection. The borough later struck an agreement with Sewickley for fire-protection services. Under the agreement, Edgeworth pays annually $50,000 as well as a $9,000 contribution to the Fire Capital Reserve Fund. Sewickley Solicitor Richard Tucker said the transfer of the truck titles will give …

The free holiday celebration includes crafts, snacks and a chance to visit with Santa.
Cochran Hose Company will host the department’s third annual "Santa at the Station" Christmas event from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sunday. Fire Chief Jeff Neff said there will be plenty of crafts for the kids and, best of all, Santa Claus will be there on the 1927 fire truck. “People can visit and tell Santa what they have on their wish lists,” Neff said. Visitors may have their pictures taken with the jolly fellow while partaking in one of his favorite snacks: cookies with drinks. The event is free, although donations are welcome, Neff said. A silent auction will take place. Several gift baskets will be raffled off, with the grand prize being a ride for a family on the fire truck with Santa between now and Christmas.

Quaker Valley High School is site of mock DUI crash ahead of this weekend's Homecoming activities.
Quaker Valley students received a sobering reminder Tuesday about the deadly consequences of making bad choices in their celebrations. Local police, EMS and fire personnel took part in a mock DUI crash at the high school before this weekend's homecoming festivities are set to begin. As part of her personal project presentation, high school student Vanda Freiberger worked with police, fire and emergency medical services workers to create an extremely realistic tableau for the teen audience. Students watched as six of their classmates participated in a rescue demonstration of the aftermath of a drunken-driving crash. Some students painted their faces white to represent those who have died in drug or alcohol-related crashes. Participating …

The borough will immediately begin receiving fire protection services from Cochran Hose Co.
After more than a century of protecting the community, volunteers with the Edgeworth Fire Department have been asked to hang their hats. Council voted unanimously at its regular meeting on Sept. 20 to decertify the department, which borough officials said in a statement was the result of fewer volunteers providing fire protection in Edgeworth, a growing trend in communities across Pennsylvania. In making its decision, council also pointed to the volunteers themselves, noting that none of the active adult members on the fire department resides in Edgeworth. “Council’s utmost concern is the protection of life and property of Edgeworth residents,” borough officials said in a statement. Edgeworth Fire Chief Tim Scott said the dismissed …
