Today we said goodbye to one of our own, Ex-Captain Dennis Tortorella. Dennis passed away on May 4th, 2021 due to a 9/11 related illness. He was an active member of the TMFD for almost 52 years and worked his way up to the rank of Captain of Engine Company 37. Dennis was a role model to many and was often found at the firehouse teaching, mentoring and telling stories about the “old days”, always with a smile!
Dennis was also a U.S. Army combat veteran, serving in Vietnam with pride and quiet distinction. When he returned home he joined his brother and father in a plumbing business now known as Sound Shore Contracting.
His entire family took pride in volunteering at The Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department, and viewed it as their second family business.
Dennis Tortorella’s father, Carl Sr., was a fire chief; his brother was in the department. So were his sons, Paul, who served as chief, and Christopher, who is now a career firefighter with the New Rochelle Fire Department. In October of 2019 at our annual Inspection Dinner we honored Dennis’s lifelong contribution to the department by awarding him the rank of Honorary Chief.
Dennis will be truly missed by all and will forever be “Riding” Engine 37 as it responds to an alarm. His name has been added in memory to the officers door of the apparatus. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Tortorella family.
Thank You to our neighbors @larchmontfire_l895 and @villagemamkfd for standing by for us during the services.
My condolences to his family . Dennis was a truly wonderful person.
Rest easy Dennis. My condolences to his family and the members of the TMFD. ❤
R.I.P Dennis, Thoughts and prayers to the family. 🙏
I was lucky to have known Dennis. Miss my days volunteering @TMFD great memories 🙏🏻RIP
Condolences to family and all MFD and friends.
Rip Dennis.
RIP

International Firefighters’ Day is observed each year on 4th May. On this date you are invited to remember the past firefighters who have died while serving our community or dedicated their lives to protecting the safety of us all. At the same time, we can show our support and appreciation to the firefighters world wide who continue to protect us so well throughout the year.
The role of a firefighter in today’s society – be it urban, rural, natural environment, volunteer, career, industrial, defense force, aviation, motor sport, or other is one of dedication, commitment and sacrifice – no matter what country we reside and work in. In the fire service we fight together against one common enemy – fire – no matter what country we come from, what uniform we wear or what language we speak.”
– Lieutenant JJ Edmondson, Founder of International Firefighters’ Day

I know. It should of said that was above my bedroom.
Hope no one was hurt. My old house. That was my bedroom.
Since 1981, the second week of April has been known as National Public Safety Telecommunications Week. A week that honors the first of first responders, our emergency dispatchers, or as we know them, "60 Control".
Our friends at 60 Control serve as the first step in emergency care, answering 911 calls and beginning pre-arrival care. They give us crucial information as we respond while delivering lifesaving instructions to those calling for help. Their innate ability to stay calm in time of chaos is an irreplicable asset.
Today, as a small token of thanks, we partnered with our colleagues @larchmontvac to present 60 Control with new kitchenware for their facility. Working long 12-hour shifts means many missed meals at home and we hope that this gift will make their time away a little easier.
The Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department is forever grateful for the voice on the other end, thank you for all you do!

Thank you very much for your generous gifts!!!

Engine 37 arrived on scene shortly after and supplied 42 with assistance from Engines 36 and 41. Engine 51 responded to the dead end of Harmon Drive and grabbed a hydrant and supplied Engine 36 through an access gate. The crew of 36 assisted village members with overhaul and final suppression while other members mitigated a leak from a ruptured saddle tank.

The Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department extends our condolences to Spring Valley Fire Department and the Family of Volunteer Firefighter Jared Lloyd.
On March 23 Firefighter Jared Lloyd, a 15-year volunteer with the Spring Valley Fire Department was one of the first on scene to a raging inferno at an adult care facility. He rushed in to save trapped residents, but while the third floor trying to put out the flames he became disoriented and eventually trapped there. Lloyd made the ultimate sacrifice and his sacrifice exemplifies the heroism and courage of all firefighters. Rest In Peace.
