This Saturday the Unionville Volunteer Fire Company is proud to host the 2nd Annual Bill Voegler Memorial Training Exercise at BC3 Public Safety Training Facility.

This unique event brings together firefighters, EMS providers, and rescue personnel from across Western Pennsylvania for 12 straight hours of realistic, hands-on emergency response training from 3:00 PM to 3:00 AM.

Established in honor of Bill Voegler's passion for training, mentorship, and the fire service, this event continues to grow each year while strengthening regional partnerships and preparing first responders for the challenges they may face in their communities.

Last weekend, some of our firefighters participated and some served as instructional staff in a 24-hour training filled with controlled chaos. The training simulated a shift in a busy firehouse, challenging crews with service calls, rescues, and fire responses while working collaboratively alongside other departments.

Their skills, teamwork, and endurance were put to the test — leaving them exhausted, but smiling while doing something they truly love. Opportunities like this don’t come around often, and we’re grateful for the chance to train, learn, and strengthen the bonds that help us better serve our community.

Thank you to everyone involved in making this training a success.

A few weeks ago, our crew was dispatched to a unique rescue call. We responded to a residence, alongside Wildlife In Need of Rescue (WIN), to help rescue a bird that had become trapped on a gutter.

Thanks to quick teamwork and careful coordination, the bird was safely freed and turned over to the wildlife professionals for care.

Calls like these are a reminder that no calls are ever the same, and we’re always ready to help. 🐦🚒
