About Us
The Patagonia Volunteer Fire Department was formed by a group of citizens that were concerned about thier neighbors and families in the case of a fire emergency occured in thier residence. Because of the Patagonia districts location in the township a need was found for fire protection. 
The PVFD located on 119 Superior Street, is geographically seperate from the rest of the City of Hermitage. On the city's West Side the Patagonia district borders the Ohio line, City of Sharon and the Township of South Pymatuming. The Shenango river and the City of Sharon separate the district from the rest of Hermitage. 50yrs ago these concerned citizens chartered thier own organization that became known as the Patagonia Volunteer Fire Department.
