Reserve Hose Company #1 consists of 80 Professional Volunteer Firefighters. Reserve Hose was the last fire company to be formed in the Town of West Seneca. In the early 1900s the southwest section of West Seneca was known as Reserve, and had only a few scattered farms, homes, and roads. The only fire protection available was nearby neighbors with buckets and help (when it arrived) from the already organized fire companies of Seneca Hose and Vigilant. In 1926, with the growing population of the southwest section of town, a group of citizens recognized the need for another fire company. In a meeting held in Deacons Hall on Orchard Park Road near Church Road (which was later renamed Reserve Road), plans were laid out for the fire company. William Ulrich, Sr. donated land on Berg Road to build a station, and a membership of about 35 men was formed. On August 5, 1927, a certificate of incorporation was granted by the Town of West Seneca. The first fire truck used by the Company was a 1930 Buffalo. Purchased new, it cost $7500. The Company proudly serves West Seneca Fire District # 3, which was established in 1933.
