Amherst · 7-Eleven at Boulevard & Chestnut Ridge

Domestic Escalates in the 7-Eleven Lot at Boulevard and Chestnut Ridge — Third-Party Witness Reports the Male Pushing the Female Around Before Everyone Drives Off

At 10:48, Amherst PD took a woman on the line with “a non-female arguing, child in the background … punched her in the face”. Nine minutes later a third-party caller in the same lot escalated it: “Something is escalating, we got a third-party caller now, witness, reporting the male is pushing the female around”. Units converged on the 7-Eleven at Niagara Falls Boulevard and Chestnut Ridge Road, following a Black Dodge Caravan that had pulled off just before patrol arrived.

The plate came back to Dominique Tarver, female, born 1986, out of Cheektowaga. By the time the incident number was closed a couple of hours later, the male had walked, the female was uncooperative, and there was, as one Amherst PD unit put it flatly, nothing to hold. No charges were filed on the channel.

Snyder · North Union & Main

Two-Car Wreck Closes North Union at Main Just Before 10 A.M. — Amherst PD Blocks the Northbound Lane, Twin City Transports Two to Suburban

Just before 09:51, Amherst Fire toned out a motor-vehicle accident at North Union Road and Main Street, unknown extent of injuries. Amherst PD blocked northbound South Union “just right in the middle of the intersection here,” and units resolved it as two cars, two patients. Twin City Ambulance transported both to Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital and cleared the scene at 09:53.

Amherst · 332 Little Robin Road

‘An Issue With Some Demons in Her House’: Amherst PD Called to 332 Little Robin, Complainant Uncooperative, Unfriendly Dog on Location

The most Amherst-in-July welfare check of the window, dispatched at 11:06 in one uninterrupted breath: “3-3-2 Little Robin Road. Complainant is having an issue with some demons in her house. We have time to hold history with her”. Radio then noted, gently, that there was an unfriendly dog on location as well, and the responding officer conceded the caller was very uncooperative. Sometimes you just have to stand on the porch and let the porch situation resolve itself.

Buffalo · A Mopping-Related Incident

Buffalo Fire Investigates Mystery Vapor, Discovers a Cleaning Lady Who Just Mixed Bleach With Something Else — ‘A Little Bit of Smoke, But No Danger’

Just after 11:03 a BFD unit keyed up from what had been a routine smoke check with what may be the day's cleanest chain of reasoning on the radio: “The female is spraying something on the floor and trying to mix some chemicals, and there's smoke, and I think that's where the vapor is coming from”, followed thirty seconds later by “She was mopping the floor. She must have mixed some chemicals together”. Six minutes later, the confirmation: “You had some bleach mixed with … we've created a little bit of smoke here, but no danger”. Nobody's fault, but do not, please, ever pair bleach with anything else in the same bucket.

Amherst · Amherst Fire, Slightly Weary Category

‘Confirmed Burnt Toast, We're Bagging First’ — Amherst Fire Dispatch Delivers the Morning's Purest Sentence

At 09:57, in the middle of an otherwise unremarkable EMS-and-fire-alarm morning, an Amherst Fire dispatcher keyed up with six words that need no context and no follow-up: “Confirmed burnt toast, we're bagging first”. There was no follow-up. There should not be.

Amherst · Youngs at Keating

A Deer Stuck in Live Wires on the Front Lawn, a Possibly-Deceased Dog on Youngs at Keating: Amherst PD's Fauna Hour

The morning shift's animal-response bracket, entirely delivered in Amherst-PD monotone. At 07:41: “A possibly deceased dog on the roadway, Youngs at Keating”. Two and a half hours later, a follow-up call at a residence a few blocks over: “There's supposed to be a deer that's stuck in some wires, bleeding on the lawn”, then the officer's on-scene downgrade: “Be mobile and just have some wiring that's wrapped around it”. The deer, mercifully, walked off; the wiring, less so.

BNIA · A Ramp with an Opinion

‘There's a Provo Truck Doing Donuts Over There’ — TAC Air's Late-Afternoon Air-Traffic Update from the BNIA Ramp

The window closed the way it deserved: with a TAC Air refueling channel calmly reporting, at 14:44, on the outside activity at the general-aviation ramp. “There's a Provo truck doing donuts over there”. Whatever a Provo truck is doing donuts over there for on a Friday afternoon, it is now on the record.

Fort Erie, Ontario · Struck Gas Line

Fort Erie Fire Dispatches to a Struck Gas Line at 1935 McDonald Drive — Residents Kept Outside, Enbridge on a 45-Minute ETA

At 11:24, Fort Erie Fire Dispatch put an engine and a rescue on TAC-248 for a struck residential gas line at 1935 McDonald Drive. Seven minutes later the dispatcher briefed the crew: “For a person that hit the gas line outside of the residence, Enbridge ETA is 45 minutes. You can use TAC-2.” The channel went quiet after a stand-down was requested at 11:40 with no injuries reported and no US mutual-aid page on the Niagara Region trunk in the window.

Cheektowaga · Partial Thumb Amputation

Cheektowaga Fire Toned for a Partial Thumb Amputation With the Caller ‘Now Losing Consciousness’

At 13:35, Cheektowaga Fire Dispatch (CFD Disp) toned an ALS EMS run for “a male, partial thumb amputation, now losing consciousness.” The transmission was clipped and the address did not come cleanly across the Municipalities trunk; the call handed off without further chatter on the channel. A rare enough call type to note even without a location that survived the audio.
