Today we conducted pump testing at Dormont Pool on 130 Truck and Engine. This is an annual requirement to ensure our apparatus can supply water to our firefighters when they need it most.

(Also just an excuse to play in the pool!)

Thank you to Dormont Firefighters IAFF Local 3584 and Mt. Lebanon Fire Department for all your hard work.

TRAINING RECAP 🚒🪚🪜

This week, our firefighters reviewed the complement of saws carried on our apparatus and sharpened their skills throwing extension ladders.

Several members have attended outside training with ladders over the past month, bringing back some fresh techniques and tactics for the rest of the department to put into practice.

Crews also worked on safely lowering both conscious and unconscious victims down ladders, an important skill when traditional exits aren’t an option.

Take the step others won’t.

Becoming a firefighter isn’t about choosing the easy path. It’s about challenging yourself, learning new skills, and stepping up when your community needs you most.

Think you have what it takes?

There’s Still Time: Volunteer for the Dormont Dash

Seeking volunteer hours or want to give back to your community? Please consider volunteering for the Dormont Dash - being held this Sunday, August 30, beginning at 8 AM. Volunteers are needed to help stop traffic at intersections where walkers and runners pass. It usually involves an hour time commitment.

Visit the Dormont Dash page to find the link to volunteer.

The Dormont Dash is a decades-long South Hills tradition, and one of the most challenging, hilly, and fun 5K races in the area!

Presented by the Borough of Dormont Recreation Board, all proceeds raised from the 5K run and 1-mile fun run benefits the Keystone Oaks Education Association Memorial Scholarship Fund.

The race begins and ends at the iconic Dormont Pool, and the course allows runners and walkers to enjoy the beauty of the park and the charming community of Dormont.
