Ellicott Creek Runs a Fire Alarm at the Villas on Chestnut Ridge

At 3:13 PM, Amherst Fire Dispatch sent Ellicott Creek to 3751 Nickel Way[*] — the Villas on Chestnut Ridge community building — on a smoke-detector activation in the lobby reception area. The call cleared without incident by mid-afternoon. Alarm activations at this complex are routine ambient traffic on the Amherst-Clarence trunk; this one is worth naming only because it was the sole village-adjacent fire run of the window.

UB North Campus

“Copy. Good Goose. Throw a Line.”

A goose in the far left lane at J. J. & White, and a Facilities-grade decision tree that terminates in ‘Throw a line.’

At 8:47 PM, a UB Campus PD unit asked dispatch to send Facilities out to J. J. & White because “there’s going to be a Seuss goose in the far left lane”. The response — delivered in that flat radio deadpan that makes campus dispatch a national resource — was: “Copy. Good Goose. Throw a line”.

UB North Campus · An Hour Later

The Same Beat, an Hour Later: Blue-Light Call for a Weird Goose

At 9:49 PM, a UB Campus PD unit reported — having presumably not had a chance to sit down since the earlier Seuss goose — that someone had used one of the blue emergency-call boxes in the Michael Farber lot to report a goose that “is acting weird”. Eight minutes later the check came back clean: “That goose check’s okay. Took it offline somewhere. Will be 10-8”

Buffalo · Ambulance Says Coyote

BFD Dispatch Passes On What Sounds Like the Best Sentence of Anyone’s Shift

At 7:19 PM, over Buffalo Fire dispatch: “Dispatch, he’s reporting he was attacked by a Coyote previously. Ambulance is on location. You can pick up police” — which is either a slice of extremely Buffalo backstory or a Whisper transcription with a life of its own; there was no follow-up on the trunk to confirm which, but the ambulance had it and dispatch cleared police off.

Amherst · Windermere

Neighbor Files Complaint: Two Dogs Kept in Garage Cages, ‘Never Let Out’

At 7:59 PM, an Amherst PD supervisor asked a road unit to take an animal complaint at 307 Windermere Boulevard[*] from a neighbor stating that two dogs lived in cages in the garage next door and, per the caller, “They’re never let out”.

Neighbor Dispute, Not in Progress: Rocks Being Moved onto Neighbor’s Yard

At 7:34 PM, Hamburg PD sent Station 31 to 4914 Big Tree Road for a not-in-progress neighbor dispute; per the caller, the neighbor was moving rocks onto his lawn and he wanted to speak with an officer about it. The scanner does not, as of this brief, contain further transmissions on the fate of the rocks.

Cheektowaga · Buffalo Airport Hotel

“Unwelcome Guests” Call at 4600 Genesee

At 3:49 PM, a Cheektowaga PD unit self-dispatched to the Buffalo Airport Hotel at 4600 Genesee Street — the property, not the separately-owned Inn at 4630 — for what the officer characterized on the air as “3 Radio, I’ll start heading to the Buffalo Airport Hotel for unwelcome guests”. Nothing further came over the trunk. Filed here as a named property mention; disposition unavailable from radio traffic alone.

Hamburg · Commercial Structure Fire

Commercial Structure Fire at 3999 Jeffery Blvd, Uniforce

At 11:37 PM, Town of Hamburg Fire Dispatch put out a first commercial structure fire assignment for 3999 Jeffery Boulevard at the Uniforce building. Hamburg Fire Dispatch repeated the call minutes later with mutual aid up (“Scranton 6, Hamburg 6, Mutual 8”), and Orchard Park Fire Control was polling FASTEAM members past 11:46 PM asking for additional manpower for a working fire with extension. The incident was still burning through the top of the midnight hour, when a Hamburg-side transmission requested another engine from a mutual station “whether out on a structure fire or still on at their station.”

Wyoming County · Warsaw Structure Fire

Warsaw Structure Fire Holds Second-Alarm Assignments at Dawn

Just after 6:09 AM, Wyoming Co Sheriff put a deputy en route to a structure fire in Warsaw; at 6:17 AM, Wyoming Co Fire relayed the order from Warsaw 501 to hold all second-alarm assignments for the Warsaw structure fire, meaning the incident was contained enough that command didn’t need the additional wave already being paged out. Address was not spoken in the traffic captured in this window.

Cattaraugus County · Working Structure Fire

Multi-Department Response to Possibly-Occupied Structure Fire in New Albion

At 7:19 PM, Cattaraugus Fire Control paged Cattaraugus Fire, EMS, Little Valley, Otto, Salamanca and Deputy 3 to 7883 Route 353 in New Albion for a possibly-occupied residence on fire. A Sheriff’s deputy on scene reported a working structure fire with individuals possibly still inside; occupants were being pulled out as fire crews arrived. Manpower calls went out over the next twenty-five minutes to Gowanda, Dayton, South Dayton, East Otto, Leon and Conewango tankers, with a request from control to shut down the roadway. Leon 7 reported on-location at 8:19 PM; the incident was still generating traffic through the 8:30 PM hour.
