Lloydsville Volunteer Fire Department, Unity Township Company #2

The Lloydsville Volunteer Fire Department is in the northern part of the township, situated right outside The City of Latrobe. The Lloydsville VFD is responsible for protecting 27 square miles of the township and has an area that includes residential, rural, and commercial properties.

The Lloydsville VFD has been helping surrounding communities even before they became officially chartered in 1931. It was these communities that helped them bounce back from an unfortunate setback in 1986.

On January 9th the Lloydsville Volunteer Fire Department caught fire and burned. The department lost garages, and a tanker engine sending them into debt and forcing them to rebuild their station. But Lloydsville bounced back. They hosted a grand reopening celebration in September of that year. At the same time, they secured a replacement tanker truck allowing them to return an engine on loan from the Levelgreen Volunteer Fire Department in Trafford. Lloydsville Continued to rebound by being a founding member of the Westmoreland County Swift Water Rescue Team in 1995, alongside New Alexandria Volunteer Fire Department, and has been the home of the team ever since. 

The department is also a part of the Westmoreland County Technical Rescue Team. Contrary to their name, the department doesnt only serve the village of the Lloydsville, as their service area includes nearby railroad, and as far as the Unity Township portion of Twin Lakes Park. The department currently have 20 active members who participate in hundreds of hours of training, and an average of 500 calls for service annually.
