On Monday, July 27th, Members of Rescue-1 and Truck-4, as well as Inspector-1, gave an equipment demonstration at the Scranton School District's Career Quest Summer Camp during their Civil Service day.

Students were given information regarding the career of a firefighter, as well as a rope rescue demonstration displaying mechanical advantages as they relate to S.T.E.M., where students were able to operate the rope system and see different pieces of equipment used in rescue operations.

Thank you for having us!

This morning, members of the Scranton Fire Department gathered for breakfast at a downtown Scranton business, not just for the food, but for what it represents. In the fire service, we often talk about the brotherhood and sisterhood that binds us. That same spirit of family extends beyond the firehouse walls and into the community we serve. When times get tough, Scranton shows up for its own. We look out for one another, support local businesses, and remind each other that we’re stronger together.

The SFD is proud to answer the call from Bob Durkin, President of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce, to support our downtown businesses, His encouragement reminded us that every meal, every purchase, and every visit makes a difference. We hope others in our community will do the same, shop local, eat local, and invest in the heart of our city.

Thank you to our downtown businesses for all they do for the community!

Air quality within the City of Scranton is expected to be very unhealthy for the rest of the afternoon. Poor air quality can affect everyone, not just sensitive groups. It is important to stay informed on current air quality levels as the Canadian Wildfires continue to affect the area. Current quality ratings can be found at:
