Extremely long article about a single fire department, with no indication of importance, and exclusively first party sources. If proper
WP:GNG passing sources for it can be found at all, this article needs major cleanup. Full of fluff, to say the least. —

Keep This article doesn't look that bad to me, though it could use more secondary sources. That being said, there are secondary sources available:
[1][2][3][4][5]. Not a small-time fire department, but the fire department for one of the biggest cities in Pennsylvania. ~EDDY(

Merge to the article on Scranton. There is no justification for a free standing article on the fire department.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Keep This fire department is exceptionally well-documented as it had a dedicated historian who wrote several books about it.

Keep the article being a little fluffed out doesn't mean we should delete it.
