About 60 firefighters, including Tallman, responded to a two-family Spring Valley home believed to be an illegally-run boarding house, leaving three families homeless.

Five people, including an 84-year-old woman and children as young as 5, were taken to the hospital as a precaution after an insecticide odor in Airmont.

Members trained on entry, search and rescue, and extinguishment in extreme interior smoke conditions at the Rockland County Fire Training Center, alongside Spring Valley FD.

Commissioners Mike Aguilar and Gene Fox attended a 2-day FDNY seminar on storm pre-planning, drawing on lessons from Hurricane Irene and Superstorm Sandy.

Tallman sent its tanker and mini-pumper to assist Suffern with a major brush fire during a dry, windy stretch that fueled several regional brush fires that week.
