pnbspOn Wednesday July 24th Hammondsport Firefighters were alerted for a injured teenager in the Glen just off Pulteney Street. On arrival of 2nd Asst Chief McConnell it was found that the patient had a deepnbsplaceration to her upper leg and was going to have to be removed via stokes basket. Her location which was up on top of the 1st set of waterfalls was going to require somenbsprope work. Firefighters rigged some safety lines and secured the Stokes basket with rope andnbspa pulley.nbspMcConnell stayed with the victim helping to stabilize her. Hammondsport Ambulance members arrived and took over treating the patient. After packaging the patient in a stokes basket we started the process of bringing her down the waterfall and then the 14 mile trek down the glen to the waiting ambulance. She was then taken behind the Fire Station to Guthrie Air Helicopter where she was loaded and taken to Robert Packer Hospital. It took responders an hour to complete the rescue.p

Saved! We will be coming from Columbus Ohio. We loved the fire truck rides last summer; my kiddos still enjoy looking at the pictures 🚒🎆. Looking forward to the full event. I started going 48 years ago and other parts of the country I’ve lived have no idea what a sugar waffle is 😩. So many wonderful memories of my grandfather (whose been dead for 39 years) eating clams and sausage and drinking beer in the tent in between me going on rides. Thanks for continuing to offer an event where generations can continue to pass down wonderful memory making times. 🎡

Lots'o memories

Will there be fireworks?

Oh it will be good to drive there again this year. It's been so disappointing due to covid. I'm glad to hear rides again. I love the coin games. Lol.
