Cheektowaga · RAVRAC · Car Into Pool

A Driver Seizes Behind the Wheel and Puts Her Car Into a Pool, Closing a Road for Hours

Lancaster crews pulled a woman from a vehicle that had gone into a pool as she suffered a seizure; she was carried to ECMC and the roadway was shut down.

Around 9:27 AM, Lancaster police and fire worked an unusual crash in the RAVRAC area: a vehicle had gone into a pool with a female operator seizing behind the wheel. Crews reached the driver and got her out as the medical emergency unfolded at the scene.

The patient was transported to ECMC, and a road closure was put in place while the vehicle was dealt with. The call ran for better than half an hour on the radio — a slow, careful cleanup rather than a mass-casualty scene, driven as much by the medical crisis at the wheel as by the water.

Amherst · Niagara Falls Boulevard · Missing Child

A 10-Year-Old Bolts From a Funeral Home on Niagara Falls Boulevard — and Is Found Safe With Her Grandfather

Amherst police launched an attempt-to-locate after a girl with mental health issues ran off on foot; she turned up a short time later, and her mother headed to reunite with her.

At about 2:27 PM, Amherst dispatch sent cars 4 and 7 on an attempt to locate a 10-year-old who had run southbound on foot from Lombardo Funeral Home, 885 Niagara Falls Boulevard. The girl, described as having mental health issues, was a Black female with black hair, a white T-shirt, red shorts and red-and-black sneakers. Her mother told police she believed the child would fight with patrols to get away.

Officers fanned out along the boulevard, with one unit checking the Tonawanda side near the Speedway across from the funeral home. By about 2:39 PM the search had ended in the best way: the girl was located with her grandfather, and dispatch advised her mother would transport her to UTMC.

Tonawanda · Tonawanda Street · Attempted Burglary

Two Knife-Carrying Intruders Try to Force a Rear Apartment on Tonawanda Street, Then Flee

A resident reported through a language barrier that two subjects had tried to break in minutes earlier, both said to be carrying knives.

Just after 10:39 AM, Tonawanda police pushed units to 1179 Tonawanda Street, rear apartment, on a burglary-in-progress that had just missed. The caller, speaking through a language barrier, told dispatch that two subjects had tried to break into her apartment roughly 10 minutes earlier and that they had knives on them.

Descriptions were thin — the barrier left the subjects' appearance unknown — as multiple cars were assigned in from Military, Sheridan and elsewhere to check the area. The two had already fled by the time officers rolled up.

Cheektowaga · Walden Avenue · Motorcycle Ride

A Motorcycle Pack Swells to More Than 200 Riders and Rolls Onto I-90 West

What started as 50 to 60 bikers gathered near the Delta Sonic on Walden ballooned into a 200-to-250-rider procession heading onto the Thruway, with troopers notified.

Early in the afternoon, Cheektowaga police were tracking a growing crowd of motorcyclists near the Delta Sonic on Walden Avenue. An initial call around 1:34 PM put 50 to 60 bikers assembled — orderly, but disobeying traffic devices.

By about 1:38 PM the group had grown fivefold: dispatch relayed 200 to 250 bikers entering I-90 West, with state troopers notified as the procession moved onto the Thruway. The traffic reflected a large but organized ride rather than a crash or disorder call — a wave of riders passing through and out of the town's jurisdiction.

Wyoming County · Rollover · Extrication

A Rollover Traps Occupants on a Rural Wyoming County Road; Crews Cut Two Patients Free

A two-vehicle crash left one car overturned with people still inside, drawing an extrication response that ended in minor injuries.

At about 9:59 AM, Wyoming County fire dispatch toned out a two-vehicle crash with one vehicle rolled over and occupants still inside. The call went out twice in quick succession as crews mustered for what read as a rescue run rather than a routine fender-bender.

On location, units reported two vehicles — one blocking the road — and began extricating one patient, describing the injuries as minor. A second patient was freed a few minutes later, also with minor injuries, and the aeromedical option was quickly waved off, with a crew instead heading to the hall to staff an ambulance.

Olean · North 4th Street · Assault

A Man Is Struck in the Head With a Tire Iron on North 4th Street; the Attacker Runs

Olean police worked a bloody assault with the victim bleeding uncontrollably and EMS racing in as the suspect fled the scene.

Just before 1:00 PM, Olean police responded to 116 North 4th Street for a violent assault: a man had been struck in the head with a tire iron and was bleeding uncontrollably. EMS was sent in as officers converged on the address.

The suspect had fled by the time help arrived, and the call ran on the radio for roughly 10 minutes as units worked the victim and the search. It was one of the sharper edges of an otherwise routine outer-county afternoon.

WNY · Thruway · Two Cabs, One Rescue

Cabbie Feels Poorly, Gets a Ride Home — and Leaves Grandma in the Taxi

It took a two-driver rescue mission to untangle a taxi driver who called it a day mid-fare.

Around 12:36 PM, a Thruway dispatcher narrated one of the more logistically dizzying calls of the day. As she put it, an elderly woman was riding as a passenger in a taxi when the driver, feeling unwell, had somebody come pick him up — and left her sitting in the cab.

The fix required a small fleet: the company dispatched a second taxi carrying two drivers, one to pilot the orphaned cab and the other to drive off the vehicle that had come for the ailing driver. The grateful footnote, per dispatch, is that the woman climbed back into a taxi and was finally, at last, sent on her way to where she'd been headed all along.

Hamburg · Near the 90 · Cab Ride Pending

We Finally Got That 18-Wheeler Stopped — Now About That Cab Ride

A Hamburg officer runs a big rig to ground near the 90 and requests transport with the calm of a man ordering lunch.

At about 12:27 PM, a Hamburg unit keyed up with an update that carried the weary satisfaction of a long chase finally ended: "We finally got that 18-wheeler stopped. I'll have a cab ride when you're ready."

Dispatch took the registration and confirmed the truck had been corralled near the 90. No drama in the phrasing — just a rig run down and a driver, it seems, in need of a lift somewhere.

Clarence · Whitwick Terrace · Banquet-Hall Alarm

A Clubhouse Alarm, a Banquet Setup, and a Dispatcher Playing It Straight

The chatter around a Rock Oak clubhouse alarm got tangled — but the response stayed reassuringly by-the-book.

At 12:12 PM, amid a commercial fire-alarm activation at the Rock Oak West Clubhouse on Whitwick Terrace, an engine got a slightly baffling advisory as it rolled: something on site was reported at what came across the air as "the cereal cans for the banquet," tied to the alarm being set up.

Whatever the words, the response held steady. "I receive normal response until I go on location to verify," the responding unit answered — and dispatch confirmed it: normal response until verification. A banquet, an alarm, and a crew declining to be rushed by the radio.

Wyoming County · Rollover Scene · Cancel the Flight

Two Patients Out, Injuries Minor — You Can Cancel the Flight

A clipped exchange over the aeromedical helicopter closes out a rural rollover with rural efficiency.

As crews wrapped the morning's rollover on a Wyoming County road, a unit reported the second patient extricated with minor injuries and then put the practical question straight to dispatch: keep the flight, or cancel it?

The answer came back with no ceremony — cancel the flight — and the county moved on to staffing an ambulance instead. No trauma birds needed today; just a couple of dinged-up occupants and a crew heading back to the hall.

Olean · Door to Door · Missing Dogs

An Officer Canvasses for Two Runaway Dogs and Comes Up Empty

Passersby questioned, area searched, no leads — the Olean K-9 hunt (the four-legged fugitive kind) goes cold.

At 11:27 AM, an Olean officer keyed up with the sort of earnest, small-town report that never makes the front page but keeps a town running: he'd searched the area for two missing dogs and spoken to a few passersby, and nobody had seen them.

He signed off promising to stay on the lookout before clearing the call — a canine cold case, filed and pending, somewhere in the streets of Olean.

Amherst · Sweet Home Apartments

Violent Domestic Reported at Virginia Street Apartment, Neighbors Hear Screaming and Crashing

At 10:16 AM, a Buffalo Police car radioed a violent domestic at 520 Virginia Street, apartment 34, with the caller reporting the unit “hears screaming and loud crashes”.

Backup units were sent to assist the responding car; follow-up radio traffic minutes later was too broken to confirm how the call was resolved.

Buffalo · Barton Street

Overdose Call Near Downtown Greyhound Station Draws Multiple Buffalo Police Units

Just after 10:12 AM, Buffalo Police District units were sent to a reported overdose on the Greyhound side of the downtown bus terminal, with officers describing the subject as “a white male, white shirt, black pants” as additional cars were assigned to assist.

Five-Year-Old Found Climbing In and Out of Running Car in School Lot

At 2:28 PM, a Cheektowaga officer took a welfare check at St. Aloysius School, 157 Cleveland Drive, after dispatch relayed a report that a 5-year-old boy had been seen “getting in and out of a vehicle in the lot, vehicle on and off”.

Batavia · Willow Specialties

Torch-Roofing Job Sparks Wall Fire at Batavia Specialty Shop

Just before 2:15 PM, Genesee County Fire dispatch reported an active fire inside a wall at Willow Specialties, blamed on a torch-roofing operation underway on the building; the fire was reported off the back of the structure, and crews were directed to make the torch-roof operation their point of attack from that side.

Responding units were shifted to a dedicated tactical channel to continue the operation, with dispatch logging the switch a few minutes later; no word on the air confirmed the fire's status at the close of this window.
