Effective @ 17:30 on Sunday the 19th, I made a radical decision to change the
email addresses. I have eliminated the EVENTS and SUBMIT emails. I will be using
(1) email for all correspondence. The only thing that will be different is the
spelling of the one and only email used and the subject line will contain
either EVENTS, SUBMIT or GENERAL. Since SPAM BOTS are very
clever at harvesting emails, I have done some research and found by encrypting
the published email, the SPAM BOTS cannot "harvest" ones email and
send them tons of junk in return. This is why I have deleted the emails that the
SPAM BOTS have already gotten and will start with a new name. With that said, if
you have saved any of the previous emails used to send me info, please visit the
email page and place the mouse over any of where it says to CLICK HERE to
view the new email address. It should be visible above the START button on your
desktop. The preferred is to use the links provided. Thanks.....

On Friday evening, October 13 at 8:00pm and again on Sunday, October 22 at

Why Do Firefighters Risk Their Lives for Us?
"Into the Fire" produced by Fireman's Fund Insurance Company, is an
emotionally charged documentary that goes into the hearts and minds of
firefighters to answer that question. Directed by Academy Award winner Bill
Couturie, the film features firefighters from across the country who tell
stories of hope, loss and dedication - and the challenges they face in an
environment of tightening budgets and increasing demands. The soundtrack
features songs by leading musical artists, including Bruce Springsteen, Bob
Dylan and Dire Straits.
From big city engine companies to small town volunteer fire departments, go
beyond the hero image for an emotional journey that will forever change the way
you think about firefighters. If you've ever wondered why we do what we do,
there should be no question after you watch this show.

On September 14th at 12:30 am Kendall was called to the scene of a working
structure fire at 1849 Kendall Rd. Upon Arrival we had heavy 2nd floor
involvement in a two story wood framed structure that was a vacant bar and
apartment house. We started with and aggressive interior attack but were soon
forced to consider Fire Fighter Safety due to the weakening of the second floor
roof and floors. Soon after vacating the structure the second floor ceiling
collapsed. A defensive attack with master streams and attack hand lines from
Kendall 33 and 30 as well as Brockport’s ladder truck was established. Morton
215 supplied Brockport’s 238. A total of 3 hydrants were tapped and used.
Holley 65 and Morton 218 provided lighting and manpower to the scene. Hulberton
65 supplied additional needed manpower and Carlton 30 was our Fast team early on
and manpower once we went defensive. Due to the instability of the structure and
the inability to adequately extinguish the fire defensively the Town of
Kendall's Excavator was called in to demolish the main building. A 24'x36'
addition on the number 3 side was salvaged as well as it's contents. The fire
was under control at 5:30am. Orleans County Fire Investigators were on scene and
the cause of the fire is under investigation. PHOTOS

middle of the night on Aug 11th. On August13th the Kendall Fire Dept.
had the honor of helping Spencerport by providing a fill in Rescue Truck along
with Morton supplying a fill in Pumper while Spencerport held an emergency
meeting. While filling in we responded to a reported house fire on Ogden-Parma
Townline Rd. Upon arrival we had smoke showing from the eaves of a single story
ranch style home. Further investigation showed it was caused by cooking on the
porch that had filled the attic and eaves with smoke. The family had no smoke or
CO detectors so some were supplied and installed by the Spencerport Fire Dept.
On August 13th the Kendall and Carlton Fire Departments responded to
a reported structure fire at 15913 Carr Rd. Upon arrival there was smoke showing

I would like to personally acknowledge the heroic efforts of 2 civilians
and 2 firefighters who placed there lives in grave risk of death, to rescue
another. On July 16, 2006 at approx. 12:22 PM a 2 car motor vehicle
accident occurred at the intersection of Hulberton Road and Lynch Road in the
Holley Fire District. One of the vehicles ignited upon impact causing an intense
fire. Two civilians who live in the area immediately approached the
burning vehicle in an attempt to rescue the occupants. These two civilians were
able to remove the driver from the burning vehicle and place him on the ground.
Because of the intensifying fire they had to create distance from the vehicle.
At this point two members of the Holley Fire Department arrived on scene and
approached the burning vehicle which was now was totally consumed with fire. The
two firefighters were able to reach the driver under intense heat and pull him
to a safer location and treat his injuries.
Without the efforts of both the two civilians and the two firefighters, the
driver of the vehicle would have had no chance for survival.
Due to the tragic nature of this accident and the healing that must begin for
all parties involved, the names of both the civilians and the firefighters is
being withheld. Formal recognition with the release of their names will be done
in the near future.

Orleans County Man in Trouble Again
by Rich Turner, Published Jun 29, 2006
An Orleans County man who called 911 two years ago
causing a massive rescue operation is in trouble with the law again.
Authorities
said Paul Martin, 32, of Waterport passed himself off as a medic. Albion
police said Martin responded to an ambulance call, lied about his status, and
drove the patient to the hospital. He is charged with criminal
impersonation of a public servant, unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, and
obstructing emergency medical services.
Two years ago, police arrested Martin after he falsely reported he was
trapped in his overturned car. The search lasted throughout the night.
