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:
“The Laws of Nature are just, but terrible. There is no weak mercy in them. Cause and consequence are inseparable and inevitable. The elements have no forbearance. The fire burns, the water drowns, the air consumes, the earth buries. And perhaps it would be well for our race if the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Man were as inevitable as the punishment of crimes against the Laws of Nature—were Man as unerring in his judgments as Nature.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)
