Who We Are
The Western Pennsylvania Firemen’s Association (WPFA) is a regional organization dedicated to strengthening the fire service throughout Western Pennsylvania. Our mission is rooted in service, collaboration, and supporting those who serve their communities every day.
Through member programs, shared resources, and association-led initiatives, WPFA helps bring firefighters and departments together—creating opportunities to learn, connect, and support one another.
What We Do
WPFA provides a variety of programs and benefits designed to support both individual members and departments, including:
- Member benefits such as death benefits and scholarship opportunities
- Educational resources and communications, including our quarterly newsletter
- Events that foster connection, collaboration, and engagement
- Committees that allow members to actively shape programs and initiatives
- Advocacy and representation for the fire service community
Each effort is guided by the belief that a strong fire service depends on informed, connected, and supported members.
