A structure fire at a vacant home on 19th Street remains under investigation. The incident occurred at approximately 3:28 a.m. Monday, when Niagara Falls firefighters, police, and EMS crews responded to a reported structure fire at 421 19th Street. Upon arrival, crews observed smoke coming from the boarded-up home, with no visible flames evident.

Rope Training 🪢 🪢 🪢

The Niagara Falls Fire Department recently concluded a specialized ropes training course for 20 members, led by expert instructors from the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control (OFPC).

The course curriculum comprised rappelling techniques, the importance of secure anchor points, belaying methods, and the strategic application of ropes and pulley systems to maximize mechanical advantage in rescue operations across different terrains and angles.

Training activities were held at a downtown parking garage and Devil’s Hole State Park.

MVA — 10th Street

The Niagara Falls Police Department and Niagara Falls Fire Department responded to a motor vehicle accident involving a vehicle that traversed the edge between two levels within a parking garage, leaving it suspended. Upon arrival, officers located the Chevy Equinox on the 3rd level, where the driver mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, resulting in the vehicle coming to rest over the ledge after colliding with two parked cars that sustained minor damage.

Due to logistical constraints preventing a tow truck from accessing the parking garage, Niagara Falls Firefighters utilized hydraulic tools, blocks, and chains attached to a vehicle to lift the Chevy Equinox back onto the third-level ramp, after which the vehicle was removed from the premises.

Cardiac arrest survivor thanks first responders and medical team

Aisha Ryland, 46, defied medical odds by surviving a critical event with a survival rate of only 10%, according to doctors.

On June 29, 2025, she experienced cardiac arrest at home due to ventricular fibrillation. Almost 11 months later, Aisha thanked the first responders, medical staff, and dispatchers who helped save her life at an American Medical Response ceremony.

L714 would like to honor our dispatcher who received and dispatched the call. Captain David Soper, FF Josh Carey, FF James Majka and FF Daeveon Parmer for their lifesaving care during the response. Paramedic Gary Bluhm and A-EMT Michael Sobotka. Medical professionals at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, emergency room staff, doctors, and cath-lab technicians.

Aisha has made significant progress, achieving a 75% recovery rate over the past 11 months, and continues to work towards a full recovery. She advocates for regular health check-ups and encourages everyone to prioritize their health.
