Scio Fire Department 

Around 21:40 (9:40pm) last night we were dispatched for our tankers to respond to assist Alfred Station on the Duke Road in the town of Ward for a structure fire. Scio 7 and Scio 701 and a few crew responded to supply Alfred and Alfred stations pumpers with water with what is called tanker shuttles, along with neighboring departments tankers. Good work to all companies who responded!

Alfred Station Fire Company 

Last night, shortly before ten o’clock, we were dispatched to a working structure fire in the Town of Ward. Despite extremely quick responses by all companies/departments, the fire simply had too much of a head start on all of us. We certainly did not have the outcome we were hoping for.

Our sincere thanks to all who answered our call for assistance: Alfred (fire and ambulance), Almond, Andover, Belmont, Scio, Wellsville, Allegany County Fire Investigators, New York State Police, and the Town of Ward.
