At 2:22 this morning we were alerted to a structure fire on Newton Road in the Town of Hamburg. While responding to the fire an update was received that there ...were three residents unaccounted for and two others had escaped but sustained injuries. Hamburg 9-1 arrived on location confirming a working fire. Units worked tirelessly to make entry, but their efforts were delayed by heavy fire conditions and extreme heat. The fire was knocked down by 3:15. Units remained on scene to assist fire investigation with lighting and road closure until 8:16 Due to the report of multiple victims additional ambulances were dispatched from AMR, Armor Volunteer Fire Company, Lake View Fire District, Boston Emergency Squad, and Eden Emergency & Rescue Squad. Two patients were transported to ECMC by Hamburg 8 and AMR. Unfortunately one adult female and two children did not survive the fire. Mutual aid fire apparatus on scene included Armor Engine 2, North Boston Engine 3, Lake View Engine 1, Scranton Truck 6 & Newton Abbott Rescue 3 serving as the FAST. Engines from East Eden Fire Company and Lake Shore Volunteer Fire were standing by at our station during the fire.

Th...e Patchin Fire Company was first alerted to the fire at 1:46pm. Patchin Engine 3 arrived on the scene just four minutes later at 1:50pm. The crew of Patchin 3 immediately reported smoke coming from the eves of the roof and entered the first floor of the home. The fire was ultimately stopped in the front left corner of the house.

Can’t ask for a better night to remember with our brothers and sisters.

Many first responders went to sleep this evening 19 years ago not knowing what tomorrow would bring. 2020 may be a crazy year, but Sept 11 2001 was even crazier. Please take a moment and remember. To those that fought their last battle answering their last alarm, we continue to Never Forget.

As we continue to look into the future and ponder how the fire service has evolved over the years, North Boston is proud to have taken the next step to advance our fleet to meet the needs of our community. Numerous volunteer hours have been spent reviewing what best fits North Boston’s needs, advancing training opportunities and looking into the future, but most of all making sure our community continues to be served to the best of our ability and with pride. We are abl...e to accomplish this by reducing our fleet count and upgrading to 2021 apparatus. Stay tuned for snap shots of what will be serving your community in the near future. I want to personally thank the hard work that the committee, committee chair Gene Wieckowski who I believe hasn’t slept putting specs together and every member and members families of this dept. Most of all I want to thank all the support our community continues to show North Boston Fire Dept. Chief Kibler

Great night for training ! Thanks Amkus.

Amid nonstop, pouring rain, several rescue agencies responded to a downed hiker on the Eternal Flame Trail at Chestnut Ridge in Orchard Park today. Hillcrest Ch...ief Jon Torre, in command of the incident, reported that a female hiker had sustained a knee injury near trail marker 20. Due to terrain, location of the victim, and weather conditions, it was decided to rescue the victim using a rope rescue team. As of approximately 12:40pm, Chief Torre reported there were over twenty rescuers in the woods, in addition to several command units at the trailhead. At 1:17pm, command reported that the victim had been extricated from the woods, and was being evaluated by EMS personnel.
