Update Us.
Scranton firefighters were presented with a terrific opportunity to train on an acquired structure last evening, at the former Hat Trix Bar & Grill on Southwestern Boulevard.
Acquired structures allow firefighters to train in realistic conditions, in a variety of building types and occupancy classifications.
We were joined by members from Armor and the Hamburg Volunteer Fire Department as we conducted repetitive evolutions advancing hose and flowing water on the first floor and in the basement, and performing vertical ventilation procedures on the roof.
Special thanks goes to the Lake View Fire District who provided a paramedic ambulance crew to stand by in the event of injury or medical emergency, and to the East Eden Fire Company who supplied 7000 gallons of water with their tanker and portable pond. This allowed us to avoid the use of hydrants, which would have impacted surrounding businesses.
We also want to express our thanks to the generosity of Mr. Joe (of Uncle Joe's Diner fame) Gargano, who provided us with this opportunity.
If you're looking for a way to explore community involvement and feel a sense of interest in the fire service, please reach out to your local volunteer fire company. They'll be happy to discuss what opportunities exist and how you may become one of us!
Thank you for the great training opportunity!
Great team work on your training with other fire departments
It was an incredible opportunity. Thank you so much!
You are welcome 🤗

Bring on the chalupas!!!!
February’s training night was a relay format, traversing some of the most common situations we encounter. Two teams navigated the scenarios while trainers added plot twists, experiences, and colorful commentary. Routine hands-on practice with the tools and techniques used in the field ensures we’re ready in the moments that matter for our town residents and visitors. A sincere thank you to Hamburg Volunteer Fire Department for covering the 3rd of 3 calls dispatched during our training session while our own crews were putting their skills to work covering the other pair!
At approximately 9:23pm last night, February 11th, the North Boston Volunteer Fire Company was alerted to a house fire in the 7400 block of Zimmerman Road in the Town of Boston. Hamburg 9 arrived on scene first, reporting smoke showing from a single story home and declaring a working fire.
Fire crews made entry into the residence and found heavy fire in the basement and spreading into the first floor. Despite an aggressive attempt to knock down the flames, firefighters were pushed back and forced to evacuate due to worsening conditions, such as compromised floors.
After evacuating the home, several crews continued to fight the fire defensively until the fire was eventually knocked down and extinguished.
All three occupants and a dog were able to safely exit the home without injuries. The home sustained heavy damage. The fire is being investigated by the Erie County Sheriffs Fire Investigation Unit.
North Boston firefighters received assistance at the scene from Boston, Volunteer Fire Dept. - NY, Patchin Fire Company, Hamburg Volunteer Fire Department, Armor Volunteer Fire Company, Newton Abbott Fire Company, Inc. Orchard Park Fire Company, East Eden Fire Company, New York State Police, and the Erie County Sheriff's Office.
Such good news that the family got out safely. Great teamwork, as always, from our amazing firefighters.
Prayers for the family. Basement fires are tough. You have to enter thru the chimney so to speak and very little ventilation to get the heat and smoke out.
So sorry for the homeowners and their dog. So glad no one was hurt a house can be rebuilt. Prayers for all involved 🙏 🙏
Good everyone got out safely
Awesome job to all first responders ☺️👍👍
