Seneca Hose Engine 1 and Chief 9 responded mutual aid to Wi******er on Friday evening for the report of smoke in the apartment on Harlem Road. While enroute, units were updated that there was a disabled individual who could not get out of the apartment.
Union 9 and a Wi******er Firefighter located the elderly individual in the apartment that was moderately charged with smoke. Seneca Hose Engine 1’s crew then carried the patient down stairs to awaiting EMS crews.
Crews found a small fire on a mattress that caused the smoke conditions. Crews removed the mattress and ventilated the building.
With the negative spotlights in the media these days, we wanted to recognize the outstanding work our crews and our partners do on a daily basis.
Members from multiple West Seneca Fire Companies came together to support a fundraiser for the Special Olympics. 
The West Seneca Fire team WON the events best costume. We couldn’t have done it without the inspiration our buddies at the precinct give us on a daily basis.

For the second time today, Seneca Hose was alerted to the I-90 for a motor vehicle accident. Units were dispatched Eastbound for a Jack-knifed Tractor Trailer leaking diesel fuel over the Buffalo Creek this afternoon around 3pm.
Seneca Hose Chief 9 arrived and reported approximately 75 gallons of diesel actively leaking through storm drains into the Buffalo Creek. Seneca Hose Rescue 5, Engine 1 and Wi******er Squad 3 (blocker) responded and plugged the leaking saddle tank and used speedy dry and absorbent pads to contain the spill. Seneca Hose 9 requested the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation due to the amount of diesel that leaked into the water.
The scene was cleared by Rusiniak's Service Inc. and turned over to the New York State Police.

Engine 1, Engine 2, and Chief 9-1 responded mutual aid to Reserve on the I-90 East just before Ridge Rd for the Tractor Trailer fire last night.
Engine 1 arrived on scene first and found the cab fully involved with fire already into the trailer. E1’s crew stretched an 1 3/4” attack line and began fire suppression.
Crews from Reserve, Wi******er, and Newton Abbott worked to extinguish the fire.

Seneca Hose Chief 9, 9-1, Rescue 5 and Wi******er Squad 3 responded this afternoon to a reported MVA on the Route 90 eastbound in the area of Mineral Springs Rd.
Chief 9 arrived to find no one trapped in any vehicles, and only minor injuries to those involved.
Please when passing a scene such as this, pay attention to the road. We witnessed numerous passerby’s trying to take videos and photos while driving by. (You know who you are)
This is not only dangerous for you and those traveling around you, but us as we operate in the roadway. Contrary to popular belief, we don’t enjoy playing frogger, dodging oncoming vehicles.
I would like to thank everyone that responded to the call on the morning of December 4th on Harlem Road. It was my father Robert Zieziula that you worked on and stayed with for an hour in the freezing snow and cold. Although my father did not make it, I wanted to thank each one of you. Especially Nicholas Paradowski. That young man responded with no fear or question as to what he needed to do. I will forever be grateful for all of the efforts you all put in in trying to save our father. A special thank you to the kind person that through all of the chaos took that extra effort to fold the hat my Dad was wearing and place it aside with his glasses in it. That showed that you saw him as someone's husband, father and grandfather. I hope to never have to have a call made out to you again - but after seeing the caring, strength and efforts you all have - I am proud to be a part of the Wi******er Fire Company community. May God bless you all and keep you safe.
