New Rochelle FD Bids Emotional Farewell to Assistant to 3 Chiefs

Written By: Robert Cox

NEW ROCHELLE, NY (December 31, 2025) — After nearly 33 years of dedicated service to the City of New Rochelle, Sue Hamill, longtime Administrative Assistant to the Fire Commissioner and a cherished member of the New Rochelle Fire Department family, walked out of Fire Headquarters for the last time yesterday.

Hamill’s family gathered to mark the occasion, including her children and her brother, retired NRFD Lt. Matt Amoroso. On- and off-duty NRFD members, both active and retired, were also on hand for her departure.

The department said Hamill touched the lives of every New Rochelle firefighter, “from probie to Chief,” not only through her administrative work but also with “a wonderful personal touch not commonly found.”

“We hope you join us in wishing Sue Hamill, always part of the NRFD family, a long, happy, healthy retirement!!” the department said.
