Main Road Motor Vehicle Accident

This morning, at 04:47 AM, Newstead Fire Company personnel were dispatched to a reported motorcycle accident on Main Road.

Upon arrival, firefighters discovered a single-vehicle accident involving a motorcycle versus a deer, with the patient located down in the roadway. Our crews immediately worked alongside Twin City Ambulance to provide essential, on-scene first aid to stabilize the patient, who was subsequently transported to an area hospital for further treatment. While medical care was being provided, additional Newstead members secured the scene and closed Main Road to traffic to ensure the safety of all involved.

Our thoughts are with the patient for a swift and full recovery. We would also like to thank Twin City Ambulance for their rapid response and collaborative efforts on the scene.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Date: June 3, 2026

Subject: Volunteer Crews Respond to Basement Fire on Maple Road

NEWSTEAD, NY — At 10:07 PM on June 2nd, the Newstead Fire Company was dispatched to a reported basement fire on Maple Road. Due to the nature of the call, automatic aid partners from the Akron, Clarence, Clarence Center, and Wolcottsville Fire Companies were dispatched to assist. Additionally, the Pembroke Fire Company provided essential standby coverage at the Newstead Fire Hall during the incident.

Upon arrival, Newstead Chiefs confirmed a working fire in the basement with visible smoke showing from the structure. Firefighters moved quickly to advance a hoseline into the building to combat the fire.

Upon reaching the seat of the fire, crews identified it as an electrical fire centered around the structure's breaker box. Firefighters successfully extinguished the blaze using dry chemical extinguishers.

No injuries were reported during this incident.

The scene was turned over to the Erie County Sheriff’s Office Fire Investigation Unit for further investigation.

The Newstead Fire Company would like to extend our thanks to our neighboring departments for their prompt response and assistance in ensuring this incident was brought under control quickly and safely.
