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-jurisdictional 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.

Let us take a moment to reflect, remember, and never forget.
