With all the recent snow, please take the time to uncover your nearest fire hydrant.
The Hermitage Fire Department makes every effort to ensure that all fire hydrants are accessible during the winter, but we ask for the help of our residents to ensure that all hydrants are clear of snow and debris.
Snow covered fire hydrants can cause major delays in our efforts to save lives and property!
In early May 2009, the Hermitage Fire Department was honored with awards from the Mercer County Fire/Rescue Training Association and the Pennsylvania State Senate recognizing our efforts working with the PA Voluntary Firefighter Certification Program.
This year marks our 25th year of operating a certified training grounds.
On May 2, 2009, the Hermitage Fire Department training grounds conducted the largest ever firefighter certification test in our 25 year history. We successfully moved over 60 FFI and FF2 candidates through the program during this test.
