Fire Buff NY, In Service!

Welcome to Western New York’s premier media and fire buffing page. Here at FBNY we offer up something very different than the fire fighting website’s and social media you’ve been used to. In addition to keeping you up to date on real time incidents in the area we keep you up to date on local fire department events, training opportunities, and so much more.

Plan on visiting frequently to see who’s putting in service the lastest and greatest, not just apparatus but equipment too. Look for informative articles not only on incidents and events in the area but also relevant and interesting articles from local first responders as well. Keep tabs on how you can support not only volunteer fire company fundraisers but also our professional union brothers and sisters, as well as unique agencies such as Mercy Flight, ARC, the Salvation Army canteen, the Buffalo Fire Museum, Niagara Frontier Search & Rescue and others.

We’ll gladly except your incident photo’s, new apparatus; fire station; or equipment photo’s, training dates, fundraising events, or article submissions. Feel free to follow us/contact us on YouTube, Twitter @FBNY_WNY, Instagram @firebuffny, email us at [email protected], via Facebook Messenger.

Sincerely,
