Allegany County firefighters, EMS, say goodbye to fallen volunteer Edward Wycoff, Jr. of Bolivar

Sunday's this time of year are dedicated to football. However, scores of First Responders spent this afternoon at the JW Embser Funeral Home in Wellsville, as volunteers from several agencies said farewell to 62-year-old Edward H. Wycoff, Jr. of Bolivar. The life member of the Bolivar fire department died September 23rd. Wycoff also served with the Wellsville Volunteer Ambulance Corps. Friends and colleagues lined the street and funeral home to say, one last goodbye. Wycoff also worked for the Village of Wellsville for a number of years. Westons Mills from Cattaraugus County understood the pain and sent fire and EMS apparatus to Bolivar to cover during the funeral. They were also pressed into service with emergency calls. Here are some scenes of how EMS and firefighters show respect:
