Firefighter Training Programs
The Rockland County Fire Training Center opened in 1973, thanks to the foresight and efforts of many dedicated fire service leaders. Over the years, we have been educating personnel in fire prevention, protection and suppression.
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."
