Scarborough
Ontario is the area that forms the eastern part of the City
of Toronto, Ontario,
Canada.It was a separate city for over 200 years, but has been part of
the 'East District' of Toronto since
1998. This
site has been created with the hope of fostering a means for former
active and retired firefighters and friends of the former
Scarborough Fire Department and IAFF Local 626 to keep in touch and
pass information through the electronic medium known as the internet.
The goal is to keep it simple, hopefully informative, and with the
assistances of both retired and active members it's hoped that we will
expand on the bit of history and other pages already posted within the
site. If you have something that may be of interest please feel free to
contact the site custodian
Should you have information
to be posted here,

The first Scarborough fire and
police station that opened in 1925
is now home to the new museum.
Located at Birchmount Road and
Highview Scarborough Fire Hall No. 1 was
decommissioned in 1998 when
firefighters moved into a new fire
station at 3600 Danforth Ave. One
of the antiques on display is a 1945
Bickle fire truck that was
originally purchased for the hall.
A group of retired Scarborough
firefighters volunteered many hours
to renovate the vintage fire station
and collect firefighting
antiquities. The retirees continue
serving their community by being
available at the museum.
