We should not be proud of this statistic.
Proud or not. This is the fact, that shows how busy this department is and able to provide the help on every call. Unlike other departments we are neighbors that can’t cover 300 calls a year and have to rely on Mutual aid and still have calls rolled.
The Volunteers in Monsey Fire Department are heroes we should be very proud with them.
most of it are automatic alarms and car accidents with arrive taxis!!!
Monsey Fd, Dept 7, is by far the best dept in Rockland. Best trained, best equipped department in the County. Keep it up!
