1st Assistant Chief Warwick Fire Department
The Warwick Fire Department (WFD) has responded to 184 calls for service to date.
On Sat., July 11, WFD responded to a residence in the Village of Warwick due to a homeowner who had struck a 1/2” gas line next to the meter of the home while using a pole digger without calling for a prior authorization mark out from Orange and Rockland Utilities at #811. Remember to call before you dig! Firefighters checked the home for gas with meters reporting negative results and the scene was turned over to Orange and Rockland Utilities. #Call811BeforeYouDig!!!
