WELCOME

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

       59 reach 50th anniversary of their inception to the SFD      Next Reitree's Luncheon - March 11th..... please rsvp (see below right).  


 

Falcon Inn Fire - September 25, 1943

The Falcon Inn was located at Old Kingston Road and Deep Dene in the area known as Highland Creek. The closest (only) hall was Hall #1 on Birchmount Rd. Its an interesting read, especially when you take into account that what they did with about 6 fire fighters and two trucks - today would involve about 10 trucks and an infinite number of fire fighters.
You can read Fire Marshal W.J. Scott's report here.

FIREFIGHTERS/FIRE SERVICES
EMPLOYMENT LAW E-BULLETIN
[Dec 24/09]

As part of their firefighters news/bulletin Lancaster House has published an overview of the litigation between Etobicoke Firefighters and Local 3888. Many have discussed it around the kitchen table in the fire hall without having all the facts, and without being clear on what it entailed - if you are interested in the facts, an overview of the litigation can be found  on the LocaLine Page

Scarborough Fire Museum and Historical Building

(Fire Hall #1)

 

The first Scarborough fire and police station that opened in 1925 is now home to the new museum. 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
