United Volunteer Fire Company (West Virginia)

== History ==
The United VFC was the seventh and final VFC organized in Wheeling, Virginia. They were organized mostly by B&O Railroad employees in 1859 just before the civil war. Their firehouse was located on the alley corner on 24th Street between Main and Market Street. In 1862 they received a steam fire engine built by Poole and Hunt, and it was the first steam engine in the city. Eventually steam power completely replaced hand operated equipment. They were transferred to the Wheeling Fire Department in 1869.
