At 2:51 pm, July 15, the Knapp Creek Fire Dept was called for an MVA, a car hit a house. Upon arrival, we learned that the vehicle was actually inside of the house, with the driver trapped inside.

Due to the quick response of our neighboring departments and the expertise of the Allegany- Westons Mills Tech Rescue team, along with the assistance of the City of Olean and Port Allegany Structural Collapse teams, the occupant of the vehicle was extricated safely and the vehicle removed without incident.

The building, although damaged beyond occupancy, was stabilized to prevent total collapse.The Knapp Creek Fire Dept would like to extend a huge Thank You to every department that was there to assist in any capacity.
