Ramapo, NY — The Ramapo Police Department, in collaboration with Rockland County Fire and Emergency Services, is emphasizing the critical need for residents to call 911 in the event of any fire or gas emergency.
If you see fire, smoke, or notice an unusual burning odor, dialing 911 immediately activates the Rockland County Emergency Services System. This ensures that trained responders, equipment, and fire apparatus are dispatched without delay to address the emergency effectively.
Gas emergencies, such as leaks, are equally hazardous. Gas leaks can pose serious risks to both immediate and surrounding areas. If you smell gas, call 911 right away. Fire departments, working alongside Orange and Rockland Utilities, are trained to respond quickly and safely to such situations.
“Your safety is our top priority,” the department stressed. “911 is a vital resource available to everyone during emergencies, and we encourage you to use it whenever necessary.”
The Town of Ramapo and Rockland County Government remind residents that prompt action can save lives and prevent further danger in these critical situations.
