Gill Hall VFC Celebrates 70 Years In February 1948, five members went to Pittsburgh to sign the founding charter of the Gill Hall Volunteer Fire Company and Relief Association. Those members have now passed, but their families still remain in the Jefferson Hills area. Continuing a proud tradition, GHVFC intends to provide fire and rescue protection to residents in Jefferson Hills and surrounding communities for another 70 years. Gill Hall VFC has been at the same location since 1948, with several additions through the years. The social hall was added in 1975 and, in 2001, a remodel was required to house the ariel truck. The fully renovated banquet hall can accommodate 300 guests with a full bar, kitchen and walk-in cooler. Be part of tradition, be part of the community, and be a volunteer firefighter. New members are welcome. For new member info or hall rental, Gill Hall VFC can be found on Facebook. Contact them at gilhallvfc@comcast.net or 412-655-2929.
