I-70
Interstate traffic cannot stay on the highway through Breezewood. It has to come down onto the surface road with everybody else.
BreezewoodVolunteerFire Company
Station 40
150 Municipal Rd
Bedford County, PA
Twenty five volunteer firefighters. No career staff. One station, in the town where I-70 traffic has to come off the highway and onto US 30.
Every road through Breezewood meets here. So does everything the fire company is asked to do.
The Crossroads Crew
I-70 comes down onto the surface here. US 30, the Lincoln Highway, carries it through town. The turnpike interchange sends the rest. All of it converges on a place with one fire station in it.
25 on the roster. Not one of them is paid to be.
Take the open spotTwenty five volunteers and no career staff is what the public fire department record shows for this company. The 26th spot is the reason this page exists.
Why the roads matter here
Breezewood is the town drivers know from the map: the place where the interstate stops being an interstate for a mile.
US 30
The Lincoln Highway is what carries that traffic through town, straight past the businesses that grew up around the gap.
PA Turnpike
The turnpike interchange is what Breezewood is known for nationally. It is also why a town this size sees traffic from everywhere.
One station. Twenty five volunteers. No career staff.
The 26th volunteer starts with one message
Public fire department records list 25 volunteer firefighters at Breezewood Volunteer Fire Company and no career staff. That is the whole roster, for the whole town, at every hour of the day.
There is no application form on this page and no wrong question to ask. The company answers on its Facebook page and at the station phone number. Ask what the company needs right now, and ask what it takes to start.
This page is a design concept, so it cannot pass a message along. Both links above go straight to the company.
Not everyone can run calls
A volunteer company also runs on the neighbors who turn out for whatever it puts on, who pass the word along to somebody who can serve, and who know where Station 40 is before the day they need it.
The company posts what it needs on its own Facebook page. That is the honest place to ask how to help, rather than a donate button on a page it did not write.
Two ways to reach the company
The phone and the Facebook page are the company's public channels. Both are listed exactly as they are published.
