Editor’s Note

A busy sixteen-hour window — 14,743 segments, 31 systems, 460 machine-tagged incidents — with the heaviest volume out of Buffalo (150 incidents) and Chautauqua/Cattaraugus (105). The Northtowns produced the day's medical drama: a suite-200 cardiac arrest at Dent Tower, a bee-sting anaphylaxis at a Newstead campground, and an I-290 injury MVA that put a 9-year-old in the ambulance with a head laceration. The Overheard column runs on human weirdness — a cat locked in a Galleria parking-ramp car, a Sherman resident phoning police over a botched breakfast egg, and an axe-carrying customer outside a Frewsburg gas station.
