The Bowmansville Volunteer Fire Association recently donated a retired engine from its fleet to the Erie County Fire Academy in Cheektowaga, helping expand hands-on training opportunities for firefighters throughout the county.

Bowmansville’s donated engine, a 1991 Pierce Arrow fire engine, is equipped with a 1,000-gallon water tank and a pump capable of delivering 1,500 gallons per minute. The association, located within and serving the Town of Lancaster, donated the apparatus to support the continued growth of firefighter education and safety programs across Erie County, at a time where the number of volunteer firefighters is reportedly at an all-time low.

As the Depew girls swim and dive team prepares for its final dual meet of the season against Iroquois on Friday, the squad has had a regular season defined by team growth, individual milestones and an impressive collection of championship qualification times.

Coach Paige Wilson said a major key to the team’s success this fall has been progression across the entire roster, with every athlete on the team recording a personal-best time over the course of the season.
