The EMS community in Monroe County is exceptional. Thank you for being a great partner in public safety and for your tireless work. We salute you!

Recruit Firefighters learned a variety of vehicle rescue techniques this week at the PSTF. Applying your knowledge, practical experience, and creativity alongside the tools and equipment you have available helps us to accomplish the task at hand. Every situation is different; keep learning and training for our community!

Please take a second to watch this humbling video of the 21 Firefighters who Died in the Line of Duty in NYS this year. Many of these Firefighters were battling with 9/11 related illnesses and made the ultimate sacrifice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOdN-WHZ7UQ&feature=youtu.be
