Lawrenceville Fire Department 

This past Tuesday, the Lawrenceville Fire Department was dispatched to a structure fire on River Rd. in Lindley, NY. LFD was quick to respond – Tanker 8-5 responded with a crew of 2 and Engine 8-3 responded with a crew of 4. When the LFD arrived on scene, our firefighters immediately got to work fighting the blaze. Working with multiple fire departments from a Steuben County and Tioga County, crews worked together to battle the flames.

Simultaneously, an LFD crew, along with other fire departments, ran a water supply at the Lawrenceville Fire Station to provide water for tankers, and crews in Gang Mills/Painted Post set up water supply on the NY side.

Our guys worked hard for hours on scene and at water supply and the fire was finally brought under control. LFD crews remained on scene to assist with clean up and after nearly 8 hours, our guys returned home and began cleaning trucks, hose, and equipment.

LFD members on scene: Chief 8 Brad Hackett, Chief 8-10 TJ Riley, Chief 8-30 Lee Strange, Firefighters Carter Strange, Rob Satterly, and EJ Pondo.

LFD members in quarters: Kael Kilmer, Landon Nowakowski, Mike Keeney, Tim VanDusen

Huge thank you to the LFD auxiliary members Jill Strange and Jocilyn Strange for having food and drinks ready for firefighters upon returning in quarters!
