Volunteer Firefighters from Thiells Among Rockland Responders sent to Western New York

From the Rockland County Executive’s Office

Volunteer firefighters from departments in Hillburn, New City, Suffern, Tallman and Thiells—and their specialized vehicles—were dispatched on Saturday to weather-weary Western New York.

With seven feet of snow on the ground and flooding expected, our first responders are bound for the Town of Hamburg in Erie County to lend a critical hand.

The local convoy consists of four quick-response units outfitted with flood mitigation equipment.

Mutual aid is critical in times of crisis!

History shows that the good people of Erie County are always ready, willing and able to return the favor. Protecting lives knows no boundaries.

Thanks to Rockland’s Emergency Services Coordinator Gordon Wren for organizing the mission.
