CHERRY CITY VFC
100 Year
Anniversary
Cherry City VFC
started from humble
beginnings in October
of 1919 with 41 charter
members in a school
house that we moved
from the bottom of
Seavey Road up to our present location. We have faithfully
served our community for 100 years and those who border us
with dedication, integrity, experience, and the strong desire to
constantly improve our equipment and training. It started with
a hand-drawn hose carriage purchased from Etna to the latest
in fire suppression and
vehicle/rope/water rescue.
Over the last century,
more than 700 members
of our community have
sacrificed their time and
energy to make sure
our residents are safe
from any harm they may
encounter. None of this
would have been possible
without the support of
Shaler Township, State,
and Federal authorities along with the members of our little but
tight-knit community, who have supported all of our fundraisers
and endeavors. We are constantly planning for our future into
the next century of service, updating our core values and the
needs of our community without losing the focus of our motto
from 1919, “Always Ready, Always Willing”.

This year we were able to purchase a new fire
engine built by Pierce. This state of the art fire
apparatus is capable of flowing 1,500 gallons of
water per minute, has multiple safety features
to ensure our safety, and will serve residents for
the next 30 plus years. This engine will replace
our fire engine that is 38 years old! We could
not have purchased this vehicle without your
