On Sunday Night, Hamburg received a report of a structure fire. Chiefs arrived on scene to find a mixed occupancy building with heavy fire coming from the attic and roof. Hamburg 2's crew made entry and knocked down the fire in the attic. Crews made an aggressive interior attack but efforts were hindered by high heat and a hole in floor. Hamburg 6 and Scranton 6 truck crews worked to ventilate the fire on the outside but were impeded by roof instability. Incident command changed tactics due to the worsening structural stability and set up both ladder trucks as a defensive attack. Our drone was also utilized to identify hot spots in the structure to focus the attack. Units were placed back in service around 2am Monday morning. Great team work by all who responded.

The Character Council of Western New York Character Chase 5k and BurgerFest is another event that we look forward to every year! In the morning, we help block roads, and provide EMS support during the race. Our EMS Bike Team rode behind the runners, Armor Volunteer Fire Company had their ambulance following the walkers, and our ambulance sat by the finish line across from some really awesome neighbors who set up a sprinkler for the participates of all ages to go through as they finished the race! Thank you to our HVFD members and Armor VFD for helping make sure everyone crossed the finish line safely!

Immediately following the end of the race, HVFD went over to our spot at the BurgerFest where we sit to help provide support if needed throughout the day. We of course took breaks to try some food! We loved seeing everyone out and about as well as watching the children explore our ambulance and fire engines! Thank you again to everyone involved who helped make this event happen. It was a beautiful day to enjoy The Village of Hamburg and all the great people within it! ... See MoreSee Less
