Girls found unconscious after basement sleepover

Two teenage girls were stricken with what was believed to be carbon monoxide poisoning early today at a West Seneca house, police said.

The girls, both 16, were having a sleep-over in a closed basement room that also contained a boiler. Someone checking on the girls about 8:30 a.m. found them unresponsive, said West Seneca police Lt. David L. Szmania.

The girls, one of whom lives in the home on Windmill Road, were being treated at Mercy Hospital. Their conditions were not immediately available.

National Fuel Gas workers found high carbon monoxide levels in the basement, Szmania said. The couple who own the home and their son also reported symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning and were being examined, but their conditions were not considered as serious.

Hey Dave, I hope the weather isn't to horrible up there. We had snow here on Saturday and Sunday and we had a structure fire on Saturday in -1 temps with windchill. That was fun. Water problems and all. I got to sit and listen from home, it sucks sometimes to have youngins that aren't old enough to watch themselves. Oh well, that will come in a couple more years. I will talk to you later hopefully... Stay safe... :o)

Hey Chief. Haven't talked to you in a while. Hope things are good and you aren't working to hard....

Dave, Your daughter is beautiful. I can't imagine what your family has been through over the years. I hope Brianna stays in remission until a cure is found. Good luck to you and best wishes.

Dave -- that is a gorgeous pic of Bri! I think that picture and your posting will really help hit it home for some people... good thinkin'!

Thanks Dave, I'm honored to add you as a friend. Have a great day and stay safe at work.

Dave- looks like you fellows had your hands full the other day at the hotel fire. Weather was not th best for playing in. Glad to hear no one was injuried. Too bad that was a great place

Love the quote, how very true. Hope you have a great day!

CAMBRIA, N.Y. (WIVB) - A fire near the town of Wilson caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage, to one of the town's fire departments.

The Cambria Department caught on fire Monday afternoon.

Four of the station's trucks were damaged, one was completely lost and repairs could cost well over half a million dollars.

"I know our surrounding companies have offered equipment and firefighting gear so we can get back on our feet," said Shawn Mcintyre, Assistant Fire Chief

Two of the company's trucks were in substation and we undamaged.

Area residents will have their fire and emergency services covered by the Pekin and Wilson Fire Departments for the immediate future.

Hey there Chief. Just wanted to say hi, I haven't seen you on in a while and I have been busy as all get out with elections and bylaws and all. There is the working 2 days a week also. Hope you are staying out of trouble. Talk to you soon I hope....
