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.

Forcible entry is the process firefighters use to gain access to a building, vehicle or area when normal means of entry are locked or blocked. It is typically reserved for emergencies involving an immediate risk to life or property. This month, Reserve trained with one of our mutual aid partners, the East Seneca Fire Company. Utilizing the Erie County Forcible Entry trailer, the instructors presented our firefighters with various situations and the tools necessary to safety and effectively make entry in a possible lifesaving event. It was a terrific opportunity to work with our town partners and have a mutual understanding of these challenging circumstances.
The winter months bring inside drill opportunities. This month the Erie County Survival Trailer came to our Berg Road Station. Guided by the county instructors, our firefighters discussed various fire escape methods and MAYDAY situations. These are critical moments for our interior members and the ability to train for these certain environments allows our members to stay calm and collected when necessary.
Every November, we switch our two UTV machines to their tracks. This provides our members the best ability to battle Western New York’s toughest snow events. Since these machines operate quite differently with the tracks on instead of the standard tires, our members practice maneuvering around various challenges that they may experience in actual emergencies. Thanks to these two machines, we have successfully tackled many difficult access points to reach our patients and remove them to a more secure situtation.
