When the Eastmont plan of homes began to open in 1953, several small fires and one large fire in an abandoned farm building (scheduled for demolition), convinced a number of new residents of the wisdom of establishing a volunteer fire company in this section of Wilkins Township. The establishment of a fire company became a function of the Eastmont Civic Association in the very early years. Through

a local fire equipment salesman and a member of the Wilkins Township Board of Commissioners who worked for the Allegheny County Road Department, several interested residents learned about a 1929 vintage fire engine in the McKeesport area. In November of 1953 four local gentlemen each contributed the grand sum of 25 cents in order to purchase the first fire engine and complete what amounted to a good-will donation to a group struggling to start a new fire protection service - thus Eastmont Volunteer Fire Department was born.
