Twenty five years ago, four Getzville firefighters deployed to Ground Zero in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. Assistant Chief Irving Isenberg, Captain Ryan Labertew, Captain Richard Stuewe, and Lieutenant Robert Zacher assisted in rescuing three individuals from the rubble near Albany and West Streets, using a map ripped out of a phone book to help guide them to a nearby hospital.

On this 25th anniversary of the attacks, Getzville firefighters attended two ceremonies: A ceremony of remembrance at the Amherst Memorial Hill Grove, and the National Commemoration Ceremony in New York City, with Robert Zacher and Ryan Labertew in attendance.

18 years after the attacks, past Chief Irving Isenberg, who had been diagnosed with multiple cancers linked to time spent at Ground Zero, died on November 1, 2019. He was 55.

Three months before he passed, past Chief Isenberg was interviewed by a reporter about his time at Ground Zero. “I was overwhelmed, it was very emotional,” he said. “Just to be able to help our fellow brothers and sisters down at FDNY… it was a great honor.”

The Getzville Fire Company served as a command post for the Town of Amherst’s emergency operations during last night’s storm. Our hamlet was one of the worst hit areas. Getzville Chief Daric Will would like to thank all town and county agencies that responded and assisted last night. Crews from across the town staffed our station as well as their own in order to quickly respond to any and all 911 calls that came in. These individuals left their homes and loved ones in order to serve their community. As we say in Getzville: “Neighbors helping neighbors.”

This month, we placed our new chief trucks into service.

GFC 9, 9-1, 9-2 & 9-3 are 2026 Chevrolet Tahoes that allow our chiefs to quickly arrive on scene, assess emergency situations and respond accordingly using a complement of both fire and EMS equipment.

These vehicles can also be used with a trailer to deploy our UTV (4-3) or inflatable raft (4-2) for more specialized operations such as wilderness, water and extreme weather rescues that occur both in the Getzville fire district and beyond.

Chief Will would like to thank FM Communications, Streamline Designs and Rainbow Glass for getting the Getzville chief trucks in service!
