****For Immediate Release*****
Regarding Memorial Service for Commissioner James Havernick Sr.

09/29/2023

It is with profound sadness that we share the news that past chief and current commissioner James Havernick Sr. passed away today. Jim was a lot of things to a lot of people here and across the region. But most of all, he was a father, uncle, and mentor to many at the firehall. Please keep the Havernick family in your thoughts as they navigate through this difficult time. Jim guided the way for many, there’s not one member he didn’t make an impact on over his 53 years of service. Rest east Jim, we’ll take it from here.

Last night Bellevue firefighters wrapped up our annual OSHA/PESH refresher course. Each year we go through the course and learn about the new guidelines, then implement and continue to train on the topics throughout the rest of the year.

12/27/2022

We strive to be our best when people are at their worst. This storm took a toll on us all and some of our residents saw us torn, exhausted, and defeated at times. Thank you to the residents of our town as well as the unintended visitors we met along the way who were ever so understanding and patient as we made our way to respond under difficult conditions. We are grateful to our friends from Cattaraugus County Sheriff’s Office who trucked in a piece of specialty equipment as well as Albany County Sheriff’s Office who hand delivered parts to us on Christmas Eve to repair a piece of our equipment, they were both literally life savers. Also a big thank you to Gates Fire District and Springbrook Fire Department for coming in to run calls with us for the past 24 hours to give our team a much needed break. We may be a bit banged up, but still standing proud and ready for when our residents need us most. We hope everyone was able to make the best of a bad situation, we’re all a little stronger for it.

12/27/2022

FYI… There is still an active driving ban currently. This will be reduced to a travel advisory tomorrow morning at 6:00am. A travel advisory still means no unnecessary travel. We’re all excited to get to Tim Horton’s for a large double double. But please take it easy out there and PULL OVER for any emergency vehicles and give the plows and snow removal equipment some room to work.

12/26/2022

!!! There have been a few fires across town the past few days. It has been difficult just to get apparatus and personnel down streets, if you have a means of clearing out a hydrant in your neighborhood please give it a shot. Someone’s home or life may depend on that.

This is Bob

Bob sees the fire hydrant near his house is buried under the snow, so he makes sure it’s clear in case it’s needed

Bob is smart

Be like Bob

12/24/2022

So if anyone with a tracked vehicle (snow groomer, panzer tank, etc.) or a payloader is bored and not doing anything. Your Bellevue firefighters and all town fire companies could use a hand. Give us a call at 716-685-1680 or 716-870-3989.

12/23/2022

Please consider staying inside today and off the roadways as conditions change frequently. It will make it easier for all first responders, plow drivers and utility companies to get out and do what they do. If you do feel the need to go out (which you shouldn’t) please turn your headlights so other motorists can see you, do t rely on your automatic lights.

11/18/2022

Bellevue will be staffed by our volunteers full time through Saturday evening. All emergency calls should still be routed through the 911 system. We urge all residents to bunker down for the evening and reassess tomorrow morning as day breaks and skies clears. Stay Safe.

11/18/2022

REMINDER: Carbon monoxide poisoning is a risk during major snow storms. Stay safe by clearing snow from furnace vents and ensuring generators are positioned away from the house. PLEASE if you feel your property is in need of these maintenance tips please call a contractor and not 911.

11/18/2022

Just before 3am this morning, our fire fighters responded to a fully involved car fire in the Appletree Business Park parking lot. As we ran low on water, the high lift driver helped us cool the fire down. Unconventional but effective.

11/17/2022

Our snow response vehicles are geared up and ready to go as are all of our Firefighters and equipment. We are lucky enough to have specialized equipment to respond to various emergency's for the anticipated heavy snow fall coming. As we are ready here to serve you please remember some key reminders in helping us responding to our district residence and business.

1) Remember to not run any generator near or inside your house or garage.

2) Please do not discard your fire place ashes in your garbage can, tote or cardboard boxes. And when disposed keep away from any structure.

3) Please remember to keep all vents clear from snow.

4) Please do your best to keep your hydrant shoveled and cleared on your property.

5) Please follow your town travel policy, this helps us get to where we need to be with our stranded motorist.

6) Consider at least a 2 day food/medication supply.

7) STAY HOME

Over the next year you will see many posts about our history for the last 75 years. We encourage everyone in our community to stop by and take a look of the past "few years"

09/22/2022

Tonight we had our first ever family night where Bellevue firefighters trained the next generation of firefighters. It was a great opportunity for our families to see firsthand what their first responders do and spark interest in carrying on the legacy. If you or someone you know is considering joining, or would like to learn more, please stop by or give us a shout. We’d love to show you around!

04/29/2022

A friendly reminder, the NYS burn ban is in effect until May 14th.

Very low humidity today through Saturday will continue to quickly dry dead grass and brush, resulting in an elevated risk of wildfire spread. Be mindful of anything that could create a spark or ember over the next few days. The annual NY burn ban remains in effect through May 14.

04/11/2022

Thank you not only to the public safety dispatchers of the town of Cheektowaga, but to all dispatchers who answer the calls and provide valuable life saving guidance in a calm and collected voice. They are everyday heroes.

This week is National Public Safety Telecommunications week! We wanted to take a minute to thank the calm, reassuring voice you hear on the other end of a 911 call. A dispatcher gives pre-arrival instructions, listens to the cries of those who need help, gives CPR instructions, does ten things at once while typing 100 words a minute, all while making sure that their first responders are safe! They are the Golden Glue that holds us all together. These men and women often go unrecognized for the vital work they do. On behalf of the Cheektowaga Police Department we want to say "𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐊 𝐘𝐎𝐔" to our dispatchers that protect us everyday.

04/10/2022
