Alert/Columbia Fire Company Stations 1&2 of Saint Clair, PA operating 2 engines and 1 tower ladder

11/01/2026

Officers and Members are excited to give some insight to what many of you may have taken notice to over the past couple weeks next to the Alert Fire Company. This site will be an addition to the existing Alert building representing a significant investment in the future of fire protection to the communities in and around Saint Clair.

This new addition will become our future home bringing the capacity to accommodate additional apparatus, substantially increasing available storage, and improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, the expanded facility will support a safer, more organized, and unified structure for all participating fire companies operating under a single roof.

This project is moving forward through awarded grant funding, rather than placing the financial burden on local taxpayers. Through the dedicated efforts of the Alert Fire Company liaison, working hand in hand with Saint Clair Borough Council, the necessary coordination and support were secured to advance this project without relying on borough taxpayer funds for its construction.

Ultimately, this addition is more than an expansion of the existing fire station. It is a strategic investment in emergency preparedness, firefighter safety, modernized operations, and a stronger, more unified fire service dedicated to protecting the residents and surrounding communities of the Saint Clair area.
