Lake Shore FD - Monroe County

On 3-15-2026, Lake Shore responded promptly to a report of smoke in a structure located on Old Edgemere Drive. The first engine to arrive on scene did so in under three minutes and quickly identified a fire within the wall of the residence. The fire was contained to the room of origin, resulting in minimal damage. We appreciate the resident's swift action in identifying the problem and seeking help. Had the fire spread to the exterior of the structure during yesterday's strong winds, it would have resulted in a significantly larger incident.

Yesterday morning, Lake Shore and Hilton Firefighters came together and trained on ice water rescue. We spent time on Braddock Bay and Long Pond practicing different rescue techniques.

We appreciate Westpoint Marina allowing us to use their facilities.

As the ice begins to melt in the coming weeks, please use wisdom before you spend time on the ice.

On 12-21-25 at approx. 2340, Lake Shore, along with mutual aid, responded to Hogan Point Rd for the report of smoke in the home. Units arrived to find fire in the basement, first floor, second floor, and attic space. A working fire and second alarm was declared, bringing additional companies to the scene.

Units worked together to bring the fire under control. The cause of the fire is under investigation from the MCFB.

We appreciate the mutual assistance from: North Greece, Ridge Road, Barnard and Gates.

Lake Shore Firefighters were recognized at this week’s Town of Greece board meeting for a recent emergency medical incident.

This morning at approximately 9:00am Lake Shore responded mutual aid to the Hilton Parma Fire District for the person in the water just outside the mouth of Braddock Bay.

Responders arrived just after the person made it to shore with severe exposure and began EMS prior to the ambulance arrival.

Lake Shore and Hilton retrieved a kayak and belongings from Lake Ontario to avoid further calls, environmental issues, and persons attempting to retrieve the items and put themselves in harms way.

Lake Shore was covered by our volunteer and career firefighters until the first due unit returned to the district.

As the ice fishing season arrives:

Ice safety comes first when ice fishing.

You need at least 4 inches of solid ice before stepping out. That is the minimum.

Ice thickness is not the same across a lake, pond, stream, or river. It changes by location. It changes fast.

These safety numbers apply only to new, clear ice on non-moving water. Anything over 30” thick will hold a T-Rex.

Check the ice often. Drill. Measure. Move slow. Be safe!

On 12-3-25 at approx. 1437, Lake Shore responded to the Lake Ontario State Parkway for the vehicle that had crashed into Long Pond. Units arrived to find bystanders and a vehicle occupant in the water.

The vehicle occupant and bystanders were removed from the water. An additional search of the water was completed to ensure there was only one victim involved in the crash.

The occupant was transported via ambulance for further care. A level 0 hazmat was also declared due to vehicle fluids in the water.

We appreciate the assistance from North Greece Fire, NYSP, Monroe Ambulance, and MCFB.

On 7-22-25 at approx. 0323am, Lake Shore responded to Moxon Dr for the house on fire. E203 arrived on scene to find fire from the rear of the home and a working fire was declared. Multiple handlines were brought into service and the fire brought under control.

We appreciate the assistance on scene from North Greece, Ridge Road and Barnard.

Lake Shore has been training throughout the summer on our water rescue equipment. Training in Lake Ontario and the different ponds in our district is key to stay proficient with our skills.
