TalcottWx Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 5 Saybrook Road Orchard Park NY fire in the building, companies having difficulty getting on scene. They appear to be in the band. It's been several minutes and I believe there is only one or two companies there yet. EDIT: Interior crews knocked down the fire. That's a good job by them I don't think the band itself gets too much further north today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be busing in where possible, any volunteers from outside the are to help with roofs and driveways and such. Instead of the Bills asking for volunteers to clean up their precious stadium.
