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.We
hope that you enjoy
