Tyler was an employee for Town of Hamburg EMS and was one of the first two members to work on our ambulance when we started using their services. Tyler, was a great guy. He would come in daily with a smile on his face. He sat with us at our morning breakfast sessions and fit in perfectly. As described in the post from Seneca Hose, he was someone who genuinely cared. We mourn the loss of Tyler and offer our condolences to his immediate family, his Fire Services family and all of his friends.

It is with great sadness that we notify you of the loss of one of our members, Tyler Schenck, who passed away in an accident last evening.

Tyler was not only a valued and respected member of our organization, but also a member of the Erie County Department of Health, EMS Division; the Erie County Department of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, Hazardous Materials Response Team; and Hamburg EMS, as well as a former member of Reserve Fire Company.

At approximately 2200 hours on August 22, 2026, emergency personnel responded to a single-vehicle motor vehicle accident in the Town of Elma. Members of the Blossom Vol. Fire Company, Spring Brook Fire District #1, Erie County EMS, and the Erie County Sheriff’s Office responded and worked together to manage the incident.

Tyler was described by those who knew and worked alongside him as lovable, lighthearted, and a passionate EMS provider who genuinely cared about everyone he met. During his time serving in the fire and EMS communities, Tyler made a meaningful impact on his coworkers, fellow first responders, and the people he served. His loss will be deeply felt throughout our public safety, fire, and EMS communities. Our deepest condolences go out to the Schenck family, Tyler’s friends, and his fellow members during this incredibly difficult time.

We recognize that the sudden loss of a coworker and fellow first responder can affect each of us differently. Employees are encouraged to support one another and utilize the resources available to them. Confidential assistance is available through:

WNY Law Enforcement Helpline
(716) 858-COPS or (716) 858-2677
All calls are confidential.
Public Safety Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
(888) EAP-1060

Further details are being withheld due to the ongoing investigation being conducted by the Erie County Sheriff’s Office. We will provide additional information once it becomes available and appropriate to share.

Setting up to check commercial buildings adjacent to the The Erie County Fair fireworks launch site.

Our members provide this service each night of the Fair and use it as a training opportunity, repeatedly setting up the tower ladder and using features such as the attachable parapet ladder, seen here.
