Community Outreach

September 29 – Law Enforcement Torch Run!

Members of the Vigilant Fire Department participated in the Torch Run for Special Olympics.  One of our members actually ran in the event, 2 members road bikes and 2 members of our EMS Standby Crew followed behind with 7-2 to pick up anyone needing assistance!  The balance of our members stood by at the finish line.  It was great to have assistance by Seneca Hose and Union who also participated in this event!

AUGUST 3 – National Night Out!

Beautiful night for this event!  Here are a few pictures from 2021 National Night Out!  It was great to see everyone out and about within our community!  See you next year!

 

      

July 8, 9, 10 & 11 – Queen of Heaven is celebrating 40 years!

Vigilant Fire Department was on location making sure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable time at the carnival.  If an emergency occurred during the carnival, members were on hand during the entire time to take care of the needs of the members of the community!

Thank you to our neighboring Fire Distrticts, Reserve Hose and East Seneca for assisting us over the weekend!
