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.
A Fire Chaplain from Erie County Emergency Services was also on scene as well as our squad 10.
The fire is being investigated by the Town of Hamburg Police with assistance from the Erie County Sheriff's Office Fire Investigation Unit.

Introducing our 2021 STAR Team Officers. The STAR Team is a specialty unit which consists of 4 ATVs that have water pumps for brush fires and a shuttle trailer for rescues. One of the most frequent locations we utilize the STAR Team is the wood lines of 18-Mile Creek, including Woodview Park (Gunthers Hill) where we encounter the occasional winter sledding incident at the bottom of the hill.
