South Brownsville Fire Co 1

This is the only place we go for fish fry Fridays! Good prices and yummy food! Also, the fireman always respond to fires, accidents, etc very quickly. The volunteers are very dedicated to keeping their department, equipment, engines, pumps and trucks clean and in tip-top working order so that the community can feel safe. When they come around each street on their PA system selling hoagies to raise funds, we always make sure we buy some - and they're always yummy! They rent out the hall for parties as well as hold BINGO once a week. What makes me sad is that so many volunteer fire departments are in desperate need of new members and not many people are stepping up. Not only does this hurt the departments, but it negatively effects our communities. Fires can't be controlled properly without enough people to fight them ... Car wrecks and other accidents won't be handled quickly and easily without enough people to help out ... Ambulance services suffer without fire departments to back them up when needed. I hope this trend doesn't get worse.

This fire department is very good at responding fast to calls. Very professional company. Great volunteers, I cannot thank them enough for their services and work they do.

This fire department as well as northside fire department in the boro of Brownsville,are manned with hard working,dedicated,and very good people,who volunteer their time for their and our community. They deserve not just our respect but our support in all or any of the fundraisers that they put on to get the much needed funds to not just keep the lights on but the equipment needed to protect themselves while they’re protecting our property!!! So even if they’re not doing a fundraiser and you have the means in your life to donate to our local departments or the one in your community,then do so,and this in a more personal note,donate to your local no kill animal shelter,they need the money too for the feeding and general care for those poor animals that hasn’t been adopted yet,which I hope will be soon. So if you’re blessed in life with a little extra or even just enough to be able to buy a ticket or hoagie from our fire departments or a bag of food for the shelters,then without hesitation.....DO SO!! And if possible make it a monthly “thing” or as often as you can. I’m sure the men and women of the fire department and the dogs and cats would be greatly appreciated,and I’d be remiss in forgetting our ems providers they need money too.
