With 29 members, the OVC and the Briarcliff Explorers got some real life experience in a training house, thanks to the Millwood Fire Dept. Members conducted search and rescue with obstacles such as wall breaches and reduced profiling while in smoked out conditions. #OVC
also being members of our department. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of one amazing man. Dinky will forever be an iconic part of the OFD. Rest easy Chief, we’ll take it from here. 🇺🇸
within his company and eventually moved up to Assistant Chief and then Chief in 1983. He eventually became the infamous “Dispatcher 42” for the OFD and continued to brighten everyone’s day with the “Noon Time Test”. Dinky’s legacy is carrying on with his Son-in-law and grandson..
It is with profound sadness we announce the passing of Deputy Chief Donald “Dinky” Apostolico. Dinky was a 63 year life active member of our department. Joining Ossining Hose Company No. 1 in 1956, Dinky rose through the ranks of Assistant Forman to Foreman, held many positions..

Donning drills brought us right into a mask confidence maze. The OVC met on August 27th. Members practiced putting gear on in under 2 minutes then going on air and becoming comfortable with a mask on. Training starts from the basics and works it’s way through the toughest jobs.
