Hilton Fire Department.

08/11/2026

Our volunteer fire fighters worked quickly last night to secure the scene and helped extricate victims from their vehicle during this accident. Firefighters coordinated as a team to provide support to multiple patients at once — calm, focused, and ready.

That readiness doesn’t happen by accident. Our volunteers train every Monday night, practicing real-life scenarios just like the one that unfolded last night. That training is what allows us to work seamlessly with each other, and with partner agencies. We appreciate the assistance provided last night by Monroe County Sheriff's Office - Rochester, NY , North Greece Professional Firefighters Local 3827, Monroe Ambulance, and Gates Volunteer Ambulance Service, Inc.

Nights like this are why we do what we do. If you’ve ever thought about volunteering, this is your sign — visit www.hiltonfd.org
to learn how to get involved and be ready with us when a neighbor needs help.

Our thoughts are with the family from last night’s accident. We’re wishing them a fast and full recovery, and we’re grateful to the medical teams continuing their care. 🚒❤️

🟡 AQI 151–200 (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups): Kids, adults 65+, pregnant individuals, outdoor workers, and those with heart/lung disease should limit prolonged strenuous activity and monitor symptoms closely. Youth sports/camps should reduce intensity and take regular breaks.

Hilton FD statement regarding the air quality index (AQI) for the Hilton Fire Department Carnival:

After consultation with our Medical Director we have confirmed there are no guidelines by Monroe County regarding monitoring air quality that would shut down any outside events at the current AQI.

Monroe County’s guidelines can be found at: https://www.monroecounty.gov/news-2026-07-15-air

We urge the public to do what they feel is best for them. Elderly individuals or those with preexisting conditions should be cautious and if you feel uncomfortable with the AQI, you please do what you deem best for yourself and family.

Below is the most recent AQI map (2pm). We have moved out of the red and into orange. The AQI is predicted to continue to improve throughout the night. We currently see blue skies to the north.

The carnival will go on as planned tonight and the remainder of the week. Hours are:

Wed 6pm - 11pm
Thur 530pm - 11pm
Friday 6pm - midnight
Saturday 3pm - Midnight
