For those who aren't from the area, the Town of Webster, and surrounding communities suffered a great Loss today....In a nut shell, there was a call for an active structure fire early this morning...When the first responding Volunteer firemen showed up , a suspect was laying in wait across the street with an unknown weapon....At the firemen pulled up in their truck, they took several rounds into the front of their rig. They Bailed out, only to meet more rounds from suspect. Two Volunteers were Killed , 2 others sustained serious injuries. While the PD was attempting to make the scene safe, several homes became engulfed in flames.....
Unbelievable that such an event would take place....on Christmas eve no less....
One of the deceased Fireman, was a Lt. with the Webster Police Dept. The other Fireman was a young man who also worked at 911 dispatch center.
The West Webster Fire Department, Webster Police Dept, and the victim's family need some good thoughts in this trying time.......
