Gordon Wren Jr.
Director
On behalf of the fire service of
Rockland County, we would like to welcome you. The fire service in
Rockland County is unique in many ways. One of the most noticeable
differences from surrounding counties is that our fire departments
still provide quality service with 100% volunteers. In addition to
the traditional role of fighting fires, our fire fighters are
trained and respond to a vast variety of emergencies, such as
accident victim extrications, elevator rescues, and hazardous
material calls. The county maintains a progressive Haz Mat team,
which relies heavily on volunteer fire fighters. In addition, our
shoreline communities maintain fire boats for emergencies along the
Hudson River and several departments maintain active dive teams for
water rescue work. Mountain rescues are fairly common in our
mountainous areas, and several departments have established a joint
Technical Rescue team in order to be prepared for a number of rescue
situations.
If you are currently a Rockland County fire fighter, we thank you
for your training and dedication. If you are a local resident,
are action-oriented, adventurous and relish a challenge, please
consider becoming one of us.

Rockland County Fire Training Center at 845-364-8800 for membership
