Last evening at approximately 18:47 hours, Niagara Active was dispatched to 7700 East Britton Drive for multiple callers reporting the house was on fire with one person possibly unaccounted for. 12M7B (Operations Chief) arrived on scene within three minutes of the initial dispatch and confirmed a working fire, with heavy smoke coming from the eaves. By the time a size up was given, and a 360 was completed, we were updated that the unaccounted person was not home and there was no one trapped. Additional resources were immediately requested by 12M7A (Deputy Chief). Niagara Active Engine 2 and Niagara Falls Air Reserve Engine 7 arrived on scene simultaneously. Two 1.75inch attack lines were stretched and an aggressive push inside the structure followed. The incident was deemed under control within an hour and a half. The cause of origin is under investigation but the Niagara County Origin and Cause Unit. We would like to thank all of our mutual aid partners for assistance on the scene and those that handled additional calls that came in during the structure fire.

At approximately 2:30am, fire crews were alerted to a possible structure fire on Beckwith Ave. Within minutes of the original dispatch, crews were alerted that it was a confirmed working structure fire. Niagara Active Engine 4 and Niagara Active 9 (Fire Chief) were the first arriving units on location, along with Mercy Flight EMS. A second alarm was requested and additional resources from Bergholz, Sanborn, Lewiston #2, St. Johnsburg, Niagara County Origin and Cause, Niagara County Fire Coordinators Office, and Niagara Falls Air Reserve Station responded in support. The fire was brought under control within 30 minutes of first arriving units. Due to the conditions of heavy fire in the attic space, extensive overhaul was conducted. All units were cleared and returned to quarters by 5:30am. A big thank you to all our members and mutual aid partners for their assistance, it’s much appreciated!

For this discussion to become a reality is simply amazing.

This will allow our department to replace our 1995 75' Quint with a new state of the art tower that will serve our town for many years to come.
With the rapid growth of business, industry and residence in the town, this will allow us to better serve our residents, safely.

A special thank you goes out to Sylvia Forgione Virtuoso for all her hard work in helping this come to fruition.
