🚨🚒🚨🚒🚨🚒🚨🚒🚨🚒🚨

With all that said, congratulations to all promotees, but we'd like to say a special congratulations to one of our own.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Cash Cortazzo of Port Vue on your well-deserved promotion to Lieutenant with the Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire!

Our thoughts and heartfelt support are with the brave firefighters and the community affected by the devastating Robbins Lumber fire in Maine almost 3 weeks ago.

Although this tragedy unfolded hundreds of miles from Port Vue, it resonates deeply with us. Vigilant Hose Company #1 of Port Vue has personal connections to this incident, as a former member now resides in the area of one of the responding fire departments. (As a firefighter and an ems provider.) This situation serves as a poignant reminder that the firefighting brotherhood and sisterhood transcends state boundaries.

For those who may not be aware, the departments involved in the response faced significant losses, including two tankers and one engine.

The loss of apparatus is a substantial challenge, but the task of replacing the equipment, hoses, fittings, tools, and supplies carried on those units is even more daunting.

We are reaching out to our fellow fire departments and emergency service organizations to help us support those in need.

If your department has surplus hoses, fittings, adapters, tools, equipment, or any firefighting-related items that could aid the departments affected by this incident, we encourage you to reach out to us directly through this page or contact our former Chief, John Michael Kerr

In times of adversity, the fire service unites. Let us demonstrate to these courageous firefighters that they are not alone as they work to rebuild and continue serving their communities.

This serves as an initial outreach, and we will keep the community informed in the coming weeks. Should we gather enough items, our former Chief has committed to driving up to deliver the donations we collect.

Please share this message so we can reach as many departments as possible. Together, we can make a difference.

Thank you.

A reminder…

Starting June 5, 2026, Paul Miller’s Law will go into full effect and police officers will have the authority to issue citations for the use of a hand-held mobile device while operating a motor vehicle. Prior to this date, officers were only able to issue written/verbals warnings.

The Port Vue Police Department encourages all motorists to put the phone down, focus on the roadway and arrive at their destination safely!

05/25/2026

Today, we pause not just as firefighters, but as Americans—grateful for the ultimate sacrifice made by the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

We stand tall because they laid down.
We serve our communities because they served our nation.

We run into danger because they showed us what courage truly means.

On this Memorial Day, we remember the heroes who never came home. Their sacrifice is the foundation of our freedom, and we carry their legacy in our hearts, in our station, and every time we answer a call.

To the Gold Star families—your pain is not forgotten.

To the fallen—your honor lives on.
And to our fellow first responders who also wore the uniform—we salute you.

Gone but never forgotten.
Duty. Honor. Country.

Vigilant Hose Company #1 honors you today—and every day.

Copied from South Allegheny Gladiators :

🚗💥 With Prom tomorrow, South Allegheny’s SADD chapter hosted its impactful Mock Crash to remind students of the importance of safe driving and responsible decision-making.

This powerful event served as a real-world reminder of how quickly lives can change when poor choices are made behind the wheel.

Following the Mock Crash, our SADD members hosted a luncheon at the Liberty Boro Fire Hall to thank the first responders from our local fire departments, EMS, and police departments for their support and participation.

A huge thank you to all of the students, staff, and first responders who helped make this event possible. As our students celebrate Prom tomorrow, and head into the summer, we encourage everyone to stay safe, make smart choices, and look out for one another. 💙💛
