Firefighters and emer- gency personnel from across Allegany County quickly responded to see a portion of our business district fully engulfed in flames. By the time they were able to put out the fire, a large building was a heap of smoldering debris. The building housed three businesses and several student apartments. Talk around town quickly focused on how “all was lost”. That was the bad news. What also occurred that morning was a remarkable outpouring of community support and compassion. Not only did the long list of emergency responders do their job amazingly well and to save the adjoining properties, but countless others stepped up to help those affected by the fire. Last April at its annual awards ceremony, the Alfred Community Coalition announced our intention to make a small gesture to signify that on one October day a remarkable response was made by our community, by planting a tree in the coming weeks in honor of the community and all of those who helped.
