Who We Are
The Derrick City Volunteer Fire Department, along with the Rew Volunteer Fire Department, provides fire, rescue and E.M.S. protection to the residents of Foster Township, Pennsylvania. The D.C.V.F.D. service area lies just north of Bradford, Pa., along the New York border. The area is mostly residential but has numerous commercial sites including a small shopping center. Approximately 1/4 of an oil refinery (American Refinery Group) is also located within the township. The community is surrounded by hills that contain hardwood forests.
The all-volunteer fire department consists of 27 men and women who each play a vital role in the day to day operations of the department. There are two stations each containing two apparatus. The Derrick City station houses Engine 113 and Utility 115, while the Bolivar Run station contains Engine 112 and Rescue 111 (see 'Apparatus'). The department responds to approximately 150 calls a year.
The fire department relies heavily on fund raising (bingo) and residential donations. Almost 90% of our income comes from these two sources.
