Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services

Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services Our goal is to provide the citizens of Rockland County the finest available emergency services. We also conduct Indian Point drills on a regular basis.

The Rockland County Department of Fire & Emergency Services responds to natural disasters such as snowstorms, floods, and hurricanes; technical disasters such as chemical spills; and hazardous materials incidents. We provide 911 service for the residents of Rockland County where we dispatch fire companies and ambulance squads. Our office recently coordinated the development of a multi-jurisdiction

al natural hazard mitigation plan funded through a FEMA grant which allows jurisdictions to apply for FEMA grant monies and will reduce economic damages resulting from future natural disasters. We offer a variety of training programs for firefighters and emergency responders and fire safety courses for business and industry. Courses are given at the Fire Training Center in Pomona, which opened in 1973 thanks to the foresight and efforts of many dedicated fire service leaders. Over the years, we have educated thousands of firefighters from all over the tri-state area in the areas of fire prevention, protection and suppression. We also conduct tours of the Volunteer Fire Services Museum to students and groups, through our Museum Committee. Our Mission Statement reads: "The Rockland County Office of Fire and Emergency Services provides support and training necessary to the Rockland County Fire Service and all Emergency Responders so that they may provide our citizens with the finest available emergency services." VIEW COURSE LISTINGS AND ENROLL IN A CLASS! We are constantly expanding and improving our firefighter training programs. We presently offer National Fire Academy Outreach Courses, New York State Office of Fire Prevention and Control Fire Service Outreach Courses, and over 300 Rockland County Fire Training Courses. We can also develop and present courses to meet your special needs.

πŸ”₯ BEFO HAZMAT TRAINING IS UNDERWAY! πŸš’

Our Hazardous Materials portion of Basic Exterior Firefighting Operations (BEFO) kicked off this week, and we’re excited to continue providing our students with hands-on, practical training.
We teamed up with Orange and Rockland Utilities, Inc. to bring their Gas Hazard Class to our firefighters. Students had the opportunity to get their hands on real gas meters, practice identifying gas leaks, and learn how to safely shut off gas service.
This type of hands-on training helps our firefighters build the skills and confidence they need to operate safely on the fireground and at emergency incidents.
πŸ‘ Thank you to Orange & Rockland Utilities for your continued partnership and commitment to firefighter training!

🌫️ Air Quality Advisory for Rockland County 🌫️

Smoke from ongoing forest fires primarily from Canada and Minnesota are drifting into Rockland County, resulting in hazy skies and reduced air quality. While this can look concerning, there is no immediate cause for alarm. Local officials continue to monitor conditions closely.

If you notice smoky conditions:
β€’ Limit prolonged outdoor activity, especially if you have asthma, heart disease, or other respiratory conditions.
β€’ Keep windows and doors closed if smoke becomes noticeable.
β€’ Use air conditioning on recirculate if possible.
β€’ Stay hydrated and monitor local air quality updates.

🚨 Remember: If you see an actual fire, heavy smoke from a nearby structure or wooded area, or any other emergency, call 911 immediately. Never assume someone else has already reported it.

Stay informed, stay safe, and continue to follow updates.

β˜€οΈ HEAT RETURNS TO ROCKLAND COUNTY THIS WEEK β˜€οΈ

Hot temperatures are expected to build across the region early this week, with Tuesday and Wednesday forecast to be the hottest days.

While humidity levels won't be as extreme as they were earlier this month, the combination of heat and sunshine will still increase the risk of heat-related illnesses. Heat Advisories may be issued for portions of our area.

🌑️ Beat the Heat:
πŸ’§ Drink plenty of water.
🧒 Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing.
🏠 Limit outdoor activities during the hottest part of the day.
πŸš— Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle.
πŸ‘΅ Check on older adults, neighbors, and anyone who may be more vulnerable to the heat.

❄️ Need a place to cool off?
