Located within the Town of Orchard Park, New York, the Orchard Park Fire District was formed in 1924.  Over the years the Fire District expanded from a small Volunteer Fire District to its present status that consists of three Volunteer Fire Companies.  The oldest being the Orchard Park Fire Company, followed by Windom Volunteer Fire Company and finally the Hillcrest Fire Company.

The District provides service to the town of Orchard Park.  Orchard Park New York is located in Erie County.  The Fire District covers approximately 37 square miles and was formed after the need for fire protection in rural areas proved necessary.  The area protected at that time was a small rural community that included residential homes and rural farming communities. 

 Today the District is well recognized in the community and in Erie County as a leader in Fire and Emergency Medical Services (EMS).

It’s three Fire Companies receive support from citizens and local businesses whenever needed and the District thanks the community for their support of our Fire Companies regarding Fire and EMS, without community support these efforts would go without notice. 

The District provides Fire and Emergency Medical Services to approximately 30,000 people that reside in the Orchard Park, Windom and Hillcrest Fire Companies coverage area.  The majority of the firefighters and medical personnel are dual trained.  When an emergency call comes in they are toned and respond within minutes.  The Windom and Hillcrest Fire Companies have the support of a Women’s Auxiliary unit.   The Fire District also supports a Fire Explorers unit that is trained to respond to calls when needed to support the Fire Companies.
