Route 92 Car Accident
By: Post Standard
Updated 12/12/2009
Cazenovia, NY -- A 20-year-old from Manlius was in critical condition this morning following a one-car accident on Route 92 in the town of Cazenovia, according to the Madison County sheriff's office.
Dennis J. Buckley of 203 Garrett Drive was taken to Upstate University Hospital with serious head and neck injuries after crashing on Rt. 92 just west of the village of Cazenovia around 3:15 a.m.
According to a news release from Undersheriff Doug Bailey, Buckley was driving a 1997 Chrysler Concorde west on Rt. 92, about one mile east of the intersection with Temperance Hill Road, when he apparently lost control of the car on a curve.
Buckley's car left the roadway and struck a milepost marker and a utility pole, which was severed. The car rolled multiple times, Bailey said.
Buckley was wearing a seat belt and was not ejected from the car, the release states.
A passing motorist reported the accident, and Buckley was extricated from the wreckage by members of the Cazenovia Volunteer Fire Department. He was transported by CAVAC ambulance.
Deputies have yet to determine a cause for the mishap.

operator to deploy the deck gun without tying up a firefighter to manually
operate it.For the first time in

2008 Firefighter LODD Summary
The USFA reports there were 114 on-duty Firefighter fatalities in the United States as a result of incidents that occurred in 2008.
Each of the following states suffered more than 5 on-duty losses:
North Carolina (11) LODD's
Oregon (9) LODD's
Pennsylvania (9) LODD's
California ( 8) LODD's
New York (7) LODD's
Illinois (6) LODD's
Missouri (6) LODD's
Ohio (6) LODD's
As the USFA continues to collect and evaluate information regarding the 2008 on-duty firefighter deaths, here are some of the early known facts:
Preliminary estimates indicate that heart attacks and strokes were responsible for the deaths of 50 firefighters (43.8%) in 2008. This shows a decrease from 54 of the 118 (45.7%) firefighters in 2007.
In 2008, 26 on-duty firefighters died in association with wildland fires.
This loss is more than double the 11 wildland firefighter fatalities in 2007.
The 2008 toll is also above the annual average of 21 wildland fire-associated fatalities over the past 10 years, 1999-2008.
For 2008, 64.9% of all firefighter fatalities occurred while performing emergency duties.
Twenty-nine firefighters died in 2008 as the result of vehicle crashes.
Fourteen of these deaths involved aircraft crashes.
Fifteen firefighters died in motor vehicle crashes.
Six firefighters were killed in crashes involving their personal vehicles and three died in water tender (tanker) crashes. These two vehicle types have historically been most often involved in crashes that take the lives of firefighters.
Ask yourself what would you do if you come upon a school bus with it's RED lights flashing backing into a driveway. You'd probably STOP, right. The same goes when fire trucks have their lights flashing, even when backing into the station. Recently there have been many, many times that cars will basically go off the road to cut around the front of us when we are backing in, besides from being dangerous, it is also illegal to do so. See Vehicle Traffic Law in the main menu. So please for our safety and yours, when you see our lights on, STOP.

Dogs Rescued from Manlius House Fire
By Siobhan Garrett WTVH5
Nine people are homeless and their dogs needed to be pulled from a burning house on Smith Street in Manlius Friday night. The fire broke out around 8pm but the shape of the house made it difficult to initially locate the flames. The Manlius Fire Department also says they were initially called to the next street over for a smoke condition before being dispatched to the fire.
The family was not home at the time the fire broke out but three dogs were rescued. A fourth dog was also home but escaped. All four are expected to be fine. Firefighters think the fire may have started in the basement and then spread through the house. The family of 9 is being assisted by the Red Cross.
