As the Fire Chief for the Rochester Fire Department, I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to our website and thank you for taking the time to get to know us. I am humbly proud to serve the Town of Rochester and its residents. It is truly an honor to lead this tremendous group of dedicated fire and emergency medical personnel who are committed to providing the highest level of emergency services to the residents and visitors of our town.

The Rochester Fire Departments mission is to provide the highest quality of fire/rescue and emergency services through fire suppression and conscientious prevention and education. To minimize the loss of life and/or damage to property caused by the hazards of fire, natural or man-made disasters, accidental occurrences, medical and rescue related emergencies and hazardous material incidents.

Rochester Firefighters, Paramedics and EMT’s demonstrate bravery by their selfless commitment and dedication to the community we serve, by overcoming fear through fortitude, exhibiting good judgment, and strong moral character. We will continue to strive to be proficient and optimally effective in our professional practice. We will work to continually improve, by all available means, our knowledge of our profession and our individual and collective performances to provide a high level of service to our community.

We are proud to serve our community. My door is always open, if you wish to visit our station(s) or have any questions, comments or concerns, please feel free to stop by or contact me either by phone or email.
