A Woman Stabbed in the Arm and Leg on Myers Street, the Suspect Still on Scene

A caller reported that “our boy’s been stabbed” at 47 Myers, with the suspect remaining at the address as officers scrambled from a neighboring district.

At 2:09 PM, dispatch put out a stabbing call at 47 Myers Street, relaying that a caller from the house said a victim had been stabbed and that the suspect was still on the scene, with ADI notified. A lieutenant offered up any available Edward cars to break off and head over, and one unit was sent to a nearby Myers address for the same call.

The digest reflects a female victim stabbed in the arm and leg. The call landed on Myers Street just minutes before a second stabbing-related run at 33 Myers, and the two appear connected.

A 60-Foot Fall at Scobie Dam Pulls Rope-Rescue Teams From Three Counties

Erie County called for Gowanda's rope-rescue team and a UTV to reach a man who fell roughly 60 feet near the dam, with a helicopter held on standby.

Just after 7:21 AM, Cattaraugus Fire dispatch toned Gowanda's rope-rescue team to 11020 Scobie Road in Ashford, relaying that Erie County was requesting their UTV and rope team to reach a male who had fallen approximately 60 feet. The dispatcher repeated the call twice before adding District 1's rope team and additional Evans assets minutes later.

As the operation built out, a chief on the air asked whether crews were meeting at the Scobie Dam trailhead on the Springville side or the West Valley side of the creek, and units talked through the haul system for lifting the patient up the embankment. Springville Fire, Mercy Flight and Seneca-area rope assets all figured into the response, with a helicopter placed on standby.

At 12:42 PM, Genesee County dispatch toned East Pembroke fire for an 18-wheeler on fire at the Pembroke Service Center, 8319 Indian Falls Road, placed between Cleveland Road and Pratt Road. Dispatch repeated the assignment in full before clearing.

A rig fire at a busy Thruway-area truck stop draws a heavy fire response for the fuel load alone. No injuries were reflected in the traffic.

A Hand-Laceration Call on Holly Street Turns When the Patient Punches a Paramedic

A 74-year-old woman with uncontrolled bleeding grew difficult with dispatch and struck a medic, drawing a police response to the EMS call.

Within minutes the call turned: the woman had been difficult with dispatch and, once crews were with her, reportedly punched a paramedic.

A patrol response was requested to back the medics, and Buffalo units figured into the traffic as the call was worked. The bleeding remained the underlying medical concern even as the scene required police presence.

A Teen Reported Out of Control With a Knife Draws a Wyoming County Sheriff Response

At 12:36 PM, Wyoming County deputies were declared for a call on Route 362 for a 16-year-old female described as out of control and armed with a knife. Dispatch relayed that a caller, Ciminelli, reported his daughter Kimberly's 16-year-old daughter was at the address.

Deputies had spoken with the family about 15 minutes before the call escalated, dispatch noted, and by the time units were assigned the situation had gotten beyond the household's control.

Buffalo · Child Abuse Report

A School Resource Officer Handed a Child Sexual-Assault Report

An 11-year-old girl reported an assault by a stepfather; a resource officer was asked to make contact.

At 9:46 AM, a Buffalo school resource officer was directed to see a male regarding a reported sexual offense — an 11-year-old girl who had disclosed an assault by a stepfather. The assignment was passed quietly on the school-resource channel.

Given the age of the child and the nature of the allegation, no further detail was aired, and none is reported here beyond that the matter went to a resource officer for follow-up.

An Electrical Burning Odor at a Maple Road Daycare Clears Without Evacuation

Fire crews investigated a reported burning smell at Butterfly Kisses Daycare and confirmed only a light odor, with no active smoke or fire.

About 1:23 PM, Amherst Fire responded to 821 Maple Road, Butterfly Kisses Daycare, for a reported electrical burning odor. Crews investigated and found no active smoke or fire, confirming only a light odor as the building was checked.

The children were evacuated as a precaution during the investigation, and units cleared once the source was ruled out as a hazard. An odor call at a daycare draws a careful look regardless of how routine it proves.

On the Water · Furniture-Store Fire Control

Raymour & Flanigan, Come In: A Marine Channel's Odd Sofa-Store Cameo

Out on the boat channel, three words drifted across the water that belonged on nobody's chart.

At 10:41 AM, amid the usual maritime chatter, Marine 21 offered up a phrase nobody expected to hear from the water: “Raymour & Flanigan Fire Control.” How a furniture chain’s alarm line ended up invoked on a boat channel is anyone’s guess — but it was, briefly, the most curious three words afloat.

Ashford · Fire Dispatch

“We’re Going to Have a Fire in a Moment”: A Dispatcher’s Deadpan Before Dawn

It was, in fairness, a controlled prediction — but the delivery earned the morning.

At 7:34 AM, in the middle of coordinating the Scobie Dam rope rescue, a voice on Cattaraugus Fire 1 flatly announced “we’re going to have a fire in a moment” — presumably a heads-up about a planned burn or apparatus, delivered with all the ceremony of a weather report. Seconds later the same channel calmly asked whether teams would meet on the Springville or West Valley side of the creek. Business as usual, apparently.

Amherst · The Great Gas-Station Dash

Out of Gas and On Foot: An Amherst Radio Mystery in Three Acts

Somewhere in the coverage area, a unit sprinted to the pumps and back — and left the rest to our imagination.

At 1:37 PM, Amherst PD relayed a small, human bulletin: a unit had run out of gas and was “running to the gas station real quick.” No pursuit, no emergency — just the universal indignity of the fuel gauge, briefly immortalized on the air.

Cheektowaga · The Wehrle Bandit

Same Dirt Bike, Same Wehrle, Now Clocked at 80 Down Genesee

Cheektowaga’s recurring two-wheeled showman took another lap — before a well-earned stop in front of Apartment D.

At 2:20 PM, a Cheektowaga officer reported the “same dirt bike before” going 80 and popping a Wehrle down Genesee Street before turning onto Elwood. The rider’s luck ran out a few minutes later: an officer had the kid stopped on the dirt bike on Glenwood, in front of Apartment D — where, the officer noted, he apparently lives.

On the EMS Wire · A Clarifying Question

“In the Leg That He Had Amputated?” — A Dispatcher’s Fair Question

A complaint of leg pain from a 67-year-old man required one delicate follow-up.

At 11:39 AM on Mercy Flight Ch1, a caller reported a 67-year-old man complaining of leg pain — a man who had recently had a leg amputated. The dispatcher, gamely working the puzzle, asked the only question that made sense: “in the leg that he had amputated?” Phantom pain is real medicine; the timing of the question was pure radio.

Armed Man Barricades on Claire Street Rooftop, Threatens to Jump

Shortly before noon, Buffalo Police dispatchers on the Districts C-E channel scrambled additional cars to Claire Street[*] [heard: Clare Street] after a man they said had run into a house was reported to be armed. Radio traffic warned that “someone's inside with a gun”, and within a minute officers reported the man had retreated to the second floor and was trying to push out a window.

By 12:04 PM, Officer Kirk McCabe radioed that the man was sitting in a window opening “talking about wanting to jump” and asked whether a Behavioral Health Team was available. Minutes later, officers reported the man had climbed onto the roof, and a perimeter was set while additional units were asked to respond.

U-Haul Slams Into Southside Parkway Home, Then Disappears Before Crews Arrive

At 11:09 AM, Buffalo Fire Dispatch put out a special assignment after a caller reported a U-Haul truck had struck her home at 355 Southside Parkway, between Cumberland and Albion Place. Dispatch called a level 2 response with Engine 21, Ladder 6 and Rescue 1 serving as the structural collapse team, backed by Engine 25, Ladder 10 and a string of additional engines and battalions. The caller, still inside the house, said she heard a loud rumbling noise before discovering the truck had hit the side of the building, and reported no injuries.

When Battalion 46 reached the scene minutes later, the truck was nowhere to be found — “I don't see a U-Haul anywhere, I'll get back to you” — and crews requested police respond to track down the U-Haul that had already left after striking the house.

Randolph · Weedon Park

Randolph EMS was turned out around 2:39 PM for an ALS chest-pain call at Weedon Park, a 60-year-old man reporting chest pain and difficulty breathing, with deputies reported on location. Minutes later, dispatch circled back to confirm whether the deputies were actually on scene or still en route, suggesting some confusion over the response that the traffic reviewed for this window did not resolve.
