BUFFALO, N.Y. — ECMC has two weeks worth of personal protective equipment (PPE) for their staff on hand at their Grider Street facility.
The remaining 75-day supply of PPE was destroyed in the fire on Earhart Drive in Amherst Tuesday, according to an ECMC spokesperson.
"We anticipate being able to restock quickly," said Peter Cutler, vice president of communications and external affairs at ECMC. "Had this happened a year ago, it would be a much different story."
