History
2015 to now
Hegins Valley Fire-Rescue calls itself a community volunteer fire company in Schuylkill County Fire District 13, formed by merging the Hegins and Valley View fire companies.
According to the Republican & Herald (May 2, 2016), merger talks began in May 2014 and the combined company was finalized on January 1, 2015.
Construction of a new four-bay truck room beside the Chestnut Street fire hall began in June 2015, and the old Valley View building on Maple Street was put up for sale.
The combined company built Station 13 in 2015 and 2016 on the site of the Hegins Fire Company's station: a four-bay, 80-by-80-foot truck room on Chestnut Street, with contractors donating part of their work, according to the Republican & Herald.
