Today, the Orchard Park Fire Company was alerted as well as the West Falls ATV Team, Orchard Park EMS Inc and the Erie County Sheriffs Office to respond to assist Hillcrest Fire at Chestnut Ridge Park. Crews responded to the ravine near the Eternal Flame for a patient who fell appropriately 75 feet. Crews worked together, and descended to the patient below via rope system, and brought the patient back up, where they were transported via ATV to the awaiting Mercy Flight Helicopter.
