The Committee to Promote Volunteerism in Rockland County Emergency
Services, Inc. represents the county's 26 fire departments and 14
ambulance corps, manned by 3500 to 4000 active volunteers.
Our goal is to educate the public and increase awareness of our fire
and ambulance services' reliance on volunteers.
Our mission is to increase this number by recruitment or retention
and to promote active involvement by businesses, government and
other Rockland County organizations. |
