All the fire departments in the country need help. Weāve heard all the excuses. I canāt commit to (fill in the blank), Iām not always available, Iām too young/old, I donāt know anything about it. They are just excuses. We are all volunteers. We can when we can and we canāt when we canāt. ļæ¼
This is an incredible job you get paid for in ways that arenāt money. If youāve ever thought about it, contact the VFD in your area. The hardest part, is walking through that station door the first time.
We all live in the communities we serve. How can you make a difference?
Every fire department across the country needs help.

We are polar plunging for Special Olympics WNY. Unfortunately we are behind in our fundraising goal due to the winter storm last week. (We were a bit preoccupied). We are asking the community to support our team plunge by donating to our team and exceeding our goal!!!!! All of the donations stay in WNY.
At 17:23 hours Union Fire was alerted for the gas pump canopy collapse, possibly into the building. Union Chief 9 arrived on location and reported a confirmed canopy collapse. Union 9 reported no obvious gas leaks and a canopy against the building. Union 9-1, 9-2, and Union Rescue 5 firefighters arrived on scene and began clearing snow berween the canopy and building to confirm no civilians were trapped. During this time Union 9 requested a engine fromWi******er Fire Company and an additional Heavy Rescue from Seneca Hose Company #1 . Union 9-1 & 9-2 assumed operational roles securing the gas pump utilities and performing a secondary survey of the scene. We are happy to report that there were no injuries, the scene waa secured, and turned over to the WS Code Enforcement office.
