Brownsville VFD begins donation drive

Brownsville Fire Company No. 1, 520 Market St., has kicked off its annual fund drive.
Donations are being sought to support VFD fire and rescue services, all provided by local volunteers.
As it marks its 107th year, the department has 30 active members, 15 on inactive status and several junior firefighters. Last year, the VFD responded to more than 250 emergencies. The company is one of seven in Fayette County designated as a “participating department” of the Pennsylvania Fire Commissioners program.
This year’s proceeds will be used to upgrade equipment, buy firefighting gear and training.
