We're 5 Years Old!


The Pittsburgh Metro FOOLS was organized in 2002 by Rapid Intervention Training Associates to preserve the tradition of the Fire Service and to honor those that have gone before us. It is our hope to make the Pittsburgh Metro FOOLS Chapter the largest FOOLS Chapter in the Country and to be active in both our communities and the Fire Service through community service, continued training and brotherhood.
