The Rockland Fire-Rescue Department has 28 full-time firefighters,1 Fire Alarm Superintendent, 1 Executive Assistant and 6 on-call firefighters. We run seven man shifts on a 24 hour schedule. We protect a combination of residential and industrial area. In May of 2000 the Rockland Fire-Rescue Department began running Paramedic level ambulance service to its community. This is accomplished by highly trained, dual-roll, cross-trained Firefighter/Paramedics. In July of 2000,1 Firefighter/Paramedic was added to each shift bring us to our current shift strength of 7 personnel.

The "burn" season runs from January through May 1.  You must call the fire department (business line) between 10 A.M. and 1 P.M. on the day you wish to burn brush outside. The fire department will decide whether the weather conditions are conducive to burning and activate your burn permit.
