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.
In the fire service, the term forcible entry is defined as the act of gaining entry into a building or occupancy via a door, window or through a wall, by the use of force. Technology and the imagination of skilled people designed lighter and more versatile tools, but the heart and soul of forcible entry usually comes down to two firefighters gaining entry through a door with a “set of irons.” As a firefighter, you have an obligation to get the job done safely, efficiently and with the least amount of damage. With the assistance of the Erie County Forcible Entry Trailer and its instructors, our Reserve crews practiced this necessary skill.
Reserve Hose congratulates our brother, Michael Kluck, on his retirement as Assistant Chief from the Buffalo Airport Fire Department after 32 years of service. Mike has also served as a member of Reserve since 1982. A true master of firefighting, Mike continues to be a mentor to so many of the Western New York fire community. We wish him all the best and thank you for your service!
