Reserve Hose Co. proudly protects approximately 15,000 people living in an area of about 11 square miles in the town of West Seneca, NY. We operate out of 2 stations, protecting a primarily residential area. Our fire department is a public department whose members are 100% volunteer.
The mission and purpose of the Reserve Hose Fire Company is to prevent loss of life and to control or reduce the loss of property by applying all of our professional knowledge and resources. We will accomplish this mission through fire suppression, rescue, first aid, code enforcement, public education, fire investigation and professional development training. It is our number one priority to provide the best fire and medical services to all the citizens and visitors of our community.

Reserve Hose has a wide variety of highways, streets and roads within its district boundaries. One of our most critical pieces of apparatus is our Heavy Rescue. This truck is a giant tool box and it carries all kinds of extrication and stabilization equipment. One of this month's drills included having our crews utilize the special hydraulic cutters and spreaders to safely and efficiently attack critical points on a vehicle. These allow our team to smoothly extricate any patients and get them to the medical care that may be required. If this is something that interests you, please join our company.
Driving the apparatus is not just a job for the guys. The operator of an engine, aerial, heavy rescue and ambulance vehicles are critical to the success of an emergency incident. Emergency Vehicle Operator Training (EVOT/EVOC) is a program teaching first responders to safely operate emergency vehicles. It combines classroom theory on local traffic laws and vehicle dynamics with hands-on, closed-course driving assessments involving obstacle maneuvering, braking tactics, and intersection clearance protocols. We congratulate these three female members who completed this important training.
Each year the six fire companies of West Seneca and our mutual aid partner, Spring Brook Fire, take a moment to remember any firefighters that have passed away from the previous year. The morning begins with an honorary memorial mass that reflects on the volunteer fire service and the sacrifices made by all of our members. We then take time to announce the names of those lost from each company. The day concludes with a meal that includes sharing stories of all the wonderful memories of our lost fire family.
