With Sadness.

Updated On: Jan 24, 2012 (11:04:00)

 

It is with our deepest regrets that we must annouce the passing of our brother Timothy Murray. Tim was a great fireman and a great friend, he started his career on 11/2/1990 and spent most of his time on C-shift (The Untouchables).   He spent much of his time working out of fire headquarters and was always one of those fireman who worked hard and lead by example. Tim leaves behind a wife and son.  He will be missed by all who had the privilege to have known him.  Rest in peace Timmy.

Daily Status of the Fire Companies

Prior to 2011 the Scranton Fire Department was comprised of 150 firefighters divided among four shifts.  They staffed seven engine companies, two truck companies, a rescue company and an assistant chief vehicle to  provide emergency protection for all 76,000 residents in the citys' 26 square miles. 

Currently the department has 100 firefighters divided among three shifts, three engine company (Engine  Co. 9, Engine Co.10, and Engine Co. 15) have been permantly closed and the number of apparatus change daily due to brown out closures. 

The following is a list of the daily status of the companies and a description of the protection area of each.

Lessons From The Recent Past

Updated On: Sep 24, 2011 (21:10:00)

This is a letter mailed out by "Doherty for Mayor" during the last election. As you can see he is quoted as saying he did not have any plans to close firehouses, when in fact on January 1, 2011 he disbanded Engine Co. 9 and closes companies daily.  In addition, with public safety already operating at reduced levels, he recently reduced staffing by laying off eight firefighters and thirteen police officers.
