On Saturday, April 23, we had Recuit NY. Members were at the hall on hand to speak with potential members. Applications were handed out and we are waiting for them to send the applcaitons back!
On Wednesday, February 23, 2022, a commercial fire was dispatched to West Seneca Fire Districts and neighboring companies in the area at Buffalo’s Best Catering on Ridge Road. Vigilant not only manned an Engine to the scene, manned apparatus at our hall, but also established Rehab for the many volunteers at the scene.
Our Squad 10 was alerted. Along with our Ladies Auxiliary, members called local restaurants and made sandwiches, prepared fruit and beverages to deliver to the crews working the scene. A big THANK YOU to Altons and The Olive Branch for donating hundreds of cups of soup and chili to our crews!
Santa took time out of his busy schedule to visit children and group homes within Vigilant’s Fire District. Thank you to all members who came out to assist Santa on Saturday. It took over 5 hours to cover the entire district. We apologize for not being able to travel down each and every street in the District, it is difficult to maneuver the truck and trailer around certain streets, such as dead ends. We hope that everyone at least got to see Santa on Saturday!
