ALLENTOWN, N.Y. — November 26 —At 6:29 a.m., crews were sent to help the Scio Fire Department with a tractor-trailer rollover on County Road 9 (Knights Creek Road). Scio 501 asked the Allentown Volunteer Fire Company for mutual aid to help secure the situation after the collision rendered the route inaccessible. While Scio Fire Police closed CR 9 at Back River Road, Allentown firemen blocked the road at the intersection of CR 9 and Snowball Hollow Road.
Units 501 (Robert Wade), 601 (Andrew Empson), and 2 (Rob Harms) were among the eight troops from Allentown that responded. Wellsville Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Allegany County DPW, New York State Police, Town of Scio, State DOT, State DEC, and Enchanted Mountain Towing provided additional assistance. The roadway was reopened at 11:10 a.m., and all Allentown units were back in service by 11:15 a.m.
