Rest easy Chief

Firefighter Line of Duty Death – Broome County

The West Colesville Fire Company along with the Broome County Office of Emergency Services are saddened to announce the line of duty death of West Colesville Fire Company Fire Chief James Sitek, who passed away while assisting at the scene of a residential fire in the Town of Conklin early this morning.

On Friday, July 4, 2025 at 2:53am, the Broome County 911 Center received a call reporting a possible house fire at 21 JR Blvd in the Town of Conklin. Crews from the Conklin, Five Mile Point and Town of Binghamton fire departments as well as Broome Ambulance were dispatched to the scene while Kirkwood and Hallstead, Pennsylvania Fire Departments were placed on stand-by.

First arriving units at the fire scene found a residence with heavy fire and immediately called for a second alarm response, bringing firefighters from the Kirkwood, West Colesville, West Windsor and Hallstead fire departments to the scene. All occupants were reported to be out of the residence with one suffering light burns to the legs. Firefighters battled the fire and were able to bring it under control in under an hour. Firefighters then continued their work to make certain there were no leftover pockets of fire in the residence.

During the course of the incident, Fire Chief James Sitek, who had responded to the fire scene with the West Colesville Fire Company, suffered an apparent medical emergency. Medical care was immediately rendered by emergency personnel at the scene and he was transported to Wilson Hospital by Broome Ambulance where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.

Jim was a 35-year volunteer firefighter of the West Colesville Fire Company. He held many roles and most currently served as the Fire Chief for the past 3 years.

The fire is currently under investigation by the Broome County Fire Investigation Office, the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control and the Broome County Sheriffs Office.
