Fire Dispatch
The Snyder Fire Department along with the other nine fire companies in Amherst are dispatched through a central dispatch center known as Amherst Fire Control. Amherst Fire Control also dispatches the fire companies in Clarence, Newstead and Akron.
For EMS calls, Snyder and the other fire companies in the Town of Amherst utilize Twin City Ambulance, a commercial service, for transporting patients under a contract with the various municipal entities in the Towns of Amherst and Clarence. The commercial ambulance service is dispatched simultaneously through their own dispatch to these calls to provide BLS/ILS/ALS transport to the area's local hospitals.

Famous quotes containing the word fire:
“In England if something goes wrong—say, if one finds a skunk in the garden—he writes to the family solicitor, who proceeds to take the proper measures; whereas in America, you telephone the fire department. Each satisfies a characteristic need; in the English, love of order and legalistic procedure; and here in America, what you like is something vivid, and red, and swift.”
—Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947)
