The Niagara Falls Fire department is warning residents about a new scam.

Fire Chief Jo Zambito says his staff has received complaints from residents who say they received calls from someone posing as a firefighter.

The caller claims to be seeking donations to support wildfire efforts across the country.

Zambito says while the fire department does team up with charities occasionally, this is not the case here.
