NANUET, NY — In a major milestone for emergency medical services in Rockland County, the Nanuet Community Ambulance Corps (NCAC) is proud to announce the historic arrival of its fifth ambulance, marking the first time in the organization’s 83-year history that it will operate five ambulances simultaneously.

The newly delivered Ambulance 22B5, a state-of-the-art emergency vehicle, will be placed into active service in the coming days. Once operational, it will immediately begin serving residents across the Town of Clarkstown, strengthening emergency response efforts and ensuring faster, more efficient medical care.

“This ambulance delivery has been a long time coming, and we are thrilled to finally have 22B5 here,” said a spokesperson for the Nanuet Community Ambulance Corps. “With this new vehicle, we’re better equipped than ever to respond to emergencies and support the health and safety of our community.”

The addition of a fifth ambulance comes as Nanuet EMS continues to meet growing demand for emergency services in the Clarkstown area. The new Horton-built ambulance, delivered by VCI Emergency Vehicles, features the latest in medical technology, safety systems, and crew comfort, offering a modern and reliable response solution for both routine calls and large-scale emergencies.

Since its founding over eight decades ago, the Nanuet Community Ambulance Corps has remained a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to providing lifesaving care and rapid response services throughout the region. The delivery of 22B5 marks a turning point in the Corps’ legacy, reflecting both its historic roots and its forward-looking mission.

With five ambulances now in its fleet, Nanuet EMS is better positioned to:

Reduce response times

Support mutual aid and disaster readiness

Improve patient transport capacity

Expand EMS support at community events

Residents can expect to see 22B5 on the road soon, proudly serving neighborhoods throughout Clarkstown with professionalism, care, and commitment.

The Town of Haverstraw Police Department is investigating a fight outside the ShopRite in Garnerville that resulted in an accidental gun discharge Sunday evening.

Police said officers responded to reports of a fight in progress at approximately 7:45 p.m. on May 24, 2026, in the parking lot of the ShopRite located at 56 West Ramapo Road.

Upon arrival, officers encountered two adult men on the Rosman Road side of the building. Both individuals sustained minor, non-life-threatening injuries during the altercation and were transported to local hospitals for evaluation. Authorities said both men were treated and later released.

According to the preliminary investigation, one of the men involved was an off-duty member of the New York City Police Department who was carrying a legally owned handgun at the time of the incident.

Police said that during the confrontation, the firearm was removed from the officer’s waistband, causing one round to discharge. The bullet did not strike either of the individuals involved or any bystanders.

Investigators also determined the dispute may have stemmed from allegations that the other man involved had been harassing the NYPD officer’s daughter. Authorities emphasized that the daughter and the other individual are acquaintances only and have never been involved in a domestic relationship.

The Town of Haverstraw Police Department said the investigation remains ongoing in coordination with the Rockland County District Attorney’s Office.

Anyone with information related to the incident is asked to contact the Town of Haverstraw Police Department Detective Bureau at (845) 354-1500.

Volunteer firefighters from Tappan responded to a major residential structure fire in Northvale, New Jersey, this past Wednesday afternoon after a second alarm was transmitted for a heavily involved home.

According to the Volunteer Fire Association of Tappan, the incident occurred at approximately 2:15 p.m. when crews were dispatched to assist mutual aid departments operating at the scene.

Members quickly staffed Engine 21-1502 and responded to Northvale within minutes. Upon arrival, Chief Neuendorf (21-1) coordinated with fire operations to establish a communication bridge between New York and New Jersey agencies.

Tappan firefighters checked in at the command post before being assigned interior operations alongside members of the Sparkill Fire Department to relieve initial attack crews already battling the blaze.

Officials said the main body of fire was successfully knocked down, and firefighters from multiple agencies worked together to conduct overhaul operations and locate remaining hot spots before the incident was placed under control.

Due to hot weather conditions, crews later rotated through EMS rehabilitation for hydration and medical monitoring before returning to New York.

Fire officials praised the coordinated efforts of all responding departments involved in the incident.

Assisting agencies included:

  • Northvale Fire Department
  • Norwood Fire Department
  • Old Tappan Volunteer Fire Department
