NEW ROCHELLE, NY (October 24, 2025) — The New Rochelle Fire Department Training Division this week conducted Emergency Vehicle Operator Course training for several department members.
Participants completed road scenarios at Glen Island and off-road scenarios in the Nature Study Woods.
The department responds to 30,000 emergency calls annually, with fire trucks going out the door that many times a year.
“We want the public and our members to be safe not only at the incidents we go to, but also while actually responding and returning as well,” the department stated.
The training was led by Capt. Gagliardo and his cadre of EVOC instructors and facilitators.
