The Pittsburgh Bureau of Fire (PBF) provides fire suppression and prevention for the City of Pittsburgh, as well as BLS response on medical details.[3] In all, the bureau is responsible for 55.5 square miles (144 km2) with a population of 305,841 as of the 2013 Census estimation.[4] The Bureau was the first fire department in the United States to unionize and thus has the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) local number of 1.[5]
The Fire Bureau provides fire/rescue services to the Borough of Wilkinsburg and Ingram Borough through the use of two engine companies.
