We also have a Venturing Crew Program within our department to introduce the young citizens of our community into the world and commitment of Volunteer Firefighting. These member are from the ages of 14-18 and must have completed Middle School Grades. Our department also provides FAS (firefighter assist & search) Team, or RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) services to our surrounding communities. This is a highly trained and specialized trained team of firefighters specializing in the removal & rescuing of down firefighters. These services are reciprocated from department to department utilizing each others team at each others incidents. Our primary FAS Team for our District is from the Croton-on-Hudson FD. When a Working Fire is confirmed a series of events happens bringing additional resources into action. We have 3 chiefs in the OFD, they are elected by the general membership of the department.

150 Years of Service

Today (June 3rd, 1876) 150 years ago, the Ossining Steamer Company #1 was organized. The origin of its name comes from, you guessed it Ossining’s first “Steamer” Fire Engine purchased for fire protection. The purchase of a Silsby Rotary Steam Fire Engine prompted the companies existance.

The OFD congratulates Steamer (Engine 98) for 150 years of service to the citizens of the Town & Village of Ossining.

To the Finest & True Lifesavers of Ossining

As National Police Week comes to a close, and National Emergency Medical Services Week begins, we want to express our gratitude to both OPD & OVAC.

The work of any emergency services unit is truly a team effort, from the spcific agencies personnel to the other local departments that are involved. The end result in any incident is simply the safety of our community and their property. The OFD relies on both the Ossining Police Department & Ossining Volunteer Ambulance Corps tremendously.

We ask that the Ossining Community joins us in saluting and simply saying “Thank You” to these outstanding Emergency Services Professionals.

Your Dedication, Heroism, Humility, & Resilience does NOT go unnoticed.
