🚒 Training Drill 🚒

Today, members of the Elmira Heights Fire Department conducted a training drill focused on roof rescue operations and initial fire attack tactics. Firefighters practiced techniques for safely accessing and removing victims from elevated locations while also reinforcing the fundamentals of establishing and advancing an effective initial fire attack. We are committed to maintaining a high level of readiness through ongoing hands-on training and teamwork.

Thank you to all the members who participated and continue to dedicate their time to protecting our community. 🚒👨‍🚒🔥

This afternoon at about 1:30 PM, Elmira Heights Fire Department was requested by Horseheads Fire/Rescue Department with our new Res-Q-Jack Stabilization Struts to assist at a motor vehicle accident involving a partial building collapse.

Upon arrival, units found a vehicle trapped beneath the drive‑through awning of a local bank. Thankfully, the driver did not suffer serious injuries. EH7FD personnel deployed our Res‑Q‑Jack Stabilization Struts to shore up the unstable structure, making the area safe within minutes and allowing for the safe removal of the very fortunate occupant.

These struts are a new addition to our department, purchased using funds raised during our annual benefit raffle last October. Because of our community’s support, we’re able to provide specialized equipment when our neighbors — and our mutual‑aid partners — need it most. Thank you for helping us serve.

The Elmira Heights Fire Department promptly responded via automatic mutual aid to support the Horseheads Fire/Rescue Department in combating a structure fire in the village of Horseheads, which occurred today just after 11 am. Engine 732 responded rapidly with a full crew, providing a water supply for the first Horseheads engine to arrive on the scene. The fire was extinguished quickly. Fortunately, the structure was unoccupied at the time, and no injuries were reported. Horseheads Fire/Rescue Department

This week, members of the **Elmira Heights Fire Department** completed specialized training to begin carrying **Narcan (Naloxone)** on our apparatus.
While volunteer departments in Chemung County are not typically dispatched to overdose calls, this initiative is a vital protective measure. Having this life-saving medication on hand ensures we are prepared to protect both our community members and our firefighters in the event of an op**te exposure on scene.

🚑 We also welcomed a crew from **Erway Ambulance Service** for a hands-on "Show-and-Tell" with one of their new units.
By familiarizing our firefighters with the layout and equipment locations of these new ambulances, we ensure a seamless handoff during emergencies. This training allows **Advanced Life Support (ALS)** providers to remain at the patient's side while our team quickly retrieves any necessary tools or supplies.
We are proud to continue evolving and training alongside our partners to provide the highest level of service to Elmira Heights!
