Special Operations
Seneca Hose is fortunate to have specialized equipment and training in the fields of Water and Rope Rescue.
Water Rescue
Seneca Hose currently has 18 Swift Water Rescue Technicians. We also are outfitted with dry suits and a swift water rescue boat with a 40HP Jet Drive motor. We respond as part of the West Seneca Water Rescue team and activations with ALERT Region 1.
Rope Rescue
Seneca Hose has firefighters trained to various levels. We have 2 Rope Technician II, 4 Rope Technician I, 2 Rope Operations, and 7 Rescue Technician Basic. These various levels of training vary by difficulty and skill.
Rescue 5 carries enough Rope Rescue equipment to conduct High Angle and Low Angle rescues as well as equipment to rig for confined space emergencies.
We are part of the Erie County Regional Technical Rescue Team and are often requested to locations such as Chestnut Ridge, and Zoar Valley.
