About Butler County Fire Police Association
Foundation
In 1981, multiple individual VFC fire police departments were heavily deployed during the 80’s tornado breakout. Each department became aware that large scale events and incidents needed a coordinated response. Fire police from Saxonburg, Penn Twp, and Evans City were the founding members of Butler County Fire Police Association, 501(c)(3) to meet this need. To this day, BCFP draws together Fire Police officers from multiple departments to address large incidents and events that require coordination and manpower.
Represented VFCs: Buffalo, Connoquenessing, Cranberry Twp., Adams Area fire district, North Washington, Oakland Twp, Oneida Valley, Penn Twp., Petrolia, Portersville, Prospect, Saxonburg.
