Audio: 407 Hampshire 3-Alarm Fire
01/16/2022
Here's the bulk of Buffalo Fire radio traffic generated while the Buffalo Fire Department battled what turned out to be a 3-alarm fire.
The call came in at 5:20 AM and there seemed to be a number of addresses given early in the incident, owing, possibly, to an apparent intersect of streets and fire swath to nearby structures. But, the final worked was given as 407 Hampshire Street.
My audio assembly may include minor gaps or possibly duplicate tracks. Sorry, but until I mop it up, it was early! I didn't see anything on the feeds as of at least 45 minutes ago (Fire Buff New York actually got up the first mention of and video just as I was composing this entry), so I'm assuming everyone is resting off the Bills win last night!

Fire Buff New York made the trek and posted these video Tweets.

Dramatic BPD Police Pursuit Audio
10/02/2021
[ Note this event occurred earlier than the entry date stamp. It is a blog post ported from another hosting arrangement. ]
[ Important Note: This audio is NOT of the police chase I happened to catch Sunday 6/20 (the video of that is here). This audio is from a separate incident approximately 2 weeks prior to that.]
And yet MORE drama involving my fine Allentown neighborhood. I came across this chase as numerous BPD police units were chasing someone or at least on way to chasing someone the wrong way on Franklin Street. Occurred at 7:55-ish PM -- only about 30 minutes or so prior to this posting.
It's probably worth noting that this chase was not related to another chase earlier this morning (just after midnight) which also involved a crash -- although hearing the story it generally involved the same neighborhood.
From what I interpret in my time listening to the scanner, Buffalo Police has a fairly restrictive chase practice -- frequently breaking off in favor of catching up with suspects later whenever possible. So, the so-far mysterious chase through Allentown was likely based on something serious. We'll have to continue monitoring MSM for answers unless you know and tell.
