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.

Reserve Hose was invited to the annual Field Day party for all the students at Allendale Elementary School. The kids eagerly awaited the water streams from our Engine 1 deck gun and the portable blitzer nozzle. On a perfectly hot and humid afternoon, these girls and boys got exactly what they needed to cool off.
Several firefighters from Reserve Hose, along with multiple other fire companies, participated in a Erie County sponsored training of ATV and UTV operations. Our crews utilized both pieces of apparatus to practice directional, speed controls and quick evasive actions. After completion of the tutorials, each unit was able to actively run through certain obstacles and challenges.
The hot summer months can be grueling for our weekly drills, but we have to take advantage of the opportunities, since the winter months steal most chances to flow water. This month's drill consisted of our crews being split into two groups. Each team was challenged to fill a garbage can on the opposite side of the engine. The catch was, the hose line operators could not see the target. Utilizing several different options to let loose a heavy dose of water, and with the help of some dynamic (and very wet) communication, the race was on to finish first. This drill provided multiple means of completing the task at hand and was a lot of fun as well.
