The members and officers of the CHVFC extend our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers to the West Colesville Volunteer Fire Company as they mourn the tragic loss of one of their own.
Rest easy, Chief. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.Firefighter Line of Duty Death – Broome County
The West Colesville Fire Company along with the Broome County Office of Emergency Services are saddened to announce the line of duty death of West Colesville Fire Company Fire Chief James Sitek, who passed away while assisting at the scene of a residential fire in the Town of Conklin early this morning.
On Friday, July 4, 2025 at 2:53am, the Broome County 911 Center received a call reporting a possible house fire at 21 JR Blvd in the Town of Conklin. Crews from the Conklin, Five Mile Point and Town of Binghamton fire departments as well as Broome Ambulance were dispatched to the scene while Kirkwood and Hallstead, Pennsylvania Fire Departments were placed on stand-by.
First arriving units at the fire scene found a residence with heavy fire and immediately called for a second alarm response, bringing firefighters from the Kirkwood, West Colesville, West Windsor and Hallstead fire departments to the scene. All occupants were reported to be out of the residence with one suffering light burns to the legs. Firefighters battled the fire and were able to bring it under control in under an hour. Firefighters then continued their work to make certain there were no leftover pockets of fire in the residence.
During the course of the incident, Fire Chief James Sitek, who had responded to the fire scene with the West Colesville Fire Company, suffered an apparent medical emergency. Medical care was immediately rendered by emergency personnel at the scene and he was transported to Wilson Hospital by Broome Ambulance where he was pronounced deceased a short time later.
Jim was a 35-year volunteer firefighter of the West Colesville Fire Company. He held many roles and most currently served as the Fire Chief for the past 3 years.
The fire is currently under investigation by the Broome County Fire Investigation Office, the New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control and the Broome County Sheriffs Office.

Drill Night with Neighbors
Last night at our regularly scheduled drill night we teamed up with our neighbors from the Ravena Fire Dept. for some vehicle extracation training.
Crews took the night and went over taking the doors , roof and windshield out of one vehicle so we could roll the dash to simulate a person with thier legs trapped. Crews used this time to go over different techniques and ways to get this done as fast and as safe as possible. On the second vehicle Crews took the doors and windshield testing different methods.
We would like to thank the Ravena hose company for joining us. We look forward to training more with our neighbors
