Jefferson Hills Fire Rescue units were dispatched to the 100 block of South Second Avenue in Elizabeth Borough for the report of an apartment fire.

Upon arrival, Engine-1 assumed the second due engine assignment. Crews assisted members from Station 139 in locating the fire apartment and encountered a working fire involving the kitchen with extension into the hallway and living room. Crews knocked the fire, confining it to the area of origin and preventing further extension.

Primary searches of the building were completed by Engine-1 with negative findings. While his crews operated inside, Engine-1’s Driver/Operator placed ground ladders.

Crews operated on scene for approximately one hour before returning to service.

Overnight crews conducted their shift training focusing on vehicle extrication and patient care. This week’s training topic covers the skills required to remove entrapped patients from motor vehicle accidents while providing immediate medical care.

Three vehicles were provided by Nickolich Towing for training. Crews utilized one of the vehicles tonight to perform door removals and a dash lift, allowing members to practice techniques commonly used during serious crashes.

Vehicle extrication and patient care are skills that require regular training. Our members continue to train to maintain proficiency and ensure they are prepared when these incidents occur.

Jefferson Hills Fire Rescue units were dispatched to the 100 Block of 9th Street in the Borough of Glassport for the report of black smoke coming from a warehouse. Engine 1 and Engine 2 responded on the assignment.

Engine 1 arrived and assumed second due engine responsibilities, laying a supply line to the first due engine and assisting crews from 161 Engine with taking the initial attack lines into the structure.

After forcing entry crews from 161, 180, and 190 located an approximately 200 foot wide area of floor to ceiling fire nearly 100 feet inside the structure. Multiple additional attack lines and master streams were advanced into the building to bring the fire under control.

As operations continued, the incident was upgraded to a 3rd Alarm by Glassport Command due to the volume of fire and extensive overhaul requirements. The facility contained large quantities of compacted cardboard and recycled materials, creating significant challenges during suppression and overhaul operations.

Crews utilized forklifts to separate large piles of material while firefighters extinguished remaining hot spots. Units operated on scene for approximately 12 hours before returning to service. Thank you to Stowe Township Station 275, Elrama Station 24, and Brentwood Station 116 for providing coverage while units operated.

The response to our fundraiser for Michael Toth has already been overwhelming.

We have received numerous messages from people asking how they can help, donate, or support Michael and his family during this difficult time. On behalf of the Toth family, Jefferson Hills Fire Rescue, and everyone involved, thank you. Your kindness and generosity mean more than words can express.

Because so many people have asked how they can contribute, we have created a GoFundMe to help support Michael and his family as he battles leukemia. Every dollar donated will go to the Toth family. If you cannot donate just a simple share of this post would still mean the world to all of us.

If you are interested in donating items for the Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser or helping with the event itself, please send us a message and we will connect you with the appropriate organizers.

The support being shown by our community, fellow first responders, friends, neighbors, and even complete strangers is truly inspiring. Thank you for standing with Michael and the Toth family during this fight.

On June 16, 2026 at 12:02 PM, Jefferson Hills Fire Rescue units were dispatched to the 1000 block of Glass House Road for a reported fire of an unknown type. Additional information received while units were responding indicated the fire involved a large industrial structure, prompting Engine 1 to upgrade the assignment.

Engine 2 arrived on scene and found fire showing from the top of an approximately 75’ industrial hopper containing coke dust as well as fire all around the bottom area of the hopper. Due to the height of the hopper and no hydrants on the property, two additional tower ladders and a tanker assignment were requested.

Crews accessed the top of the hopper and utilized handlines to extinguish the bulk of the fire. Once the visible fire was knocked down, crews used the tower ladders from Station 232 and Station 48 to remove and extinguish the remaining smoldering coke dust within the hopper.

Crews operated on scene for approximately three hours before returning to service. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Recently, one of our own, firefighter Mike Toth, received news that no parent ever wants to hear his son Michael has been diagnosed with leukemia.

Michael is an 11 year old boy who loves sports, family, and simply being a kid. As he begins the fight of his life, we are coming together as a community to support him and his family.

Please join us for our Spaghetti Dinner Fundraiser on August 29. Every meal served, every ticket purchased, and every donation made will help ease the burden of medical expenses and show the Toth family that they are not facing this battle alone.

In times like these, community means everything. Let’s fill the hall, show our support, and remind Michael and his family that they have an entire community standing beside them.

Together, we are stronger.
