The Yellow Dot Program helps first responders quickly access vital medical information during an emergency. By placing a yellow dot on your vehicle and keeping your information in the glove compartment, you can help ensure responders have what they need when every second counts.

Thank you to the Sheriff’s Office for continuing to promote safety across our community. 🚒💛

If you’re ever in a medical emergency and unable to communicate, a yellow dot on your vehicle or door alerts us that critical information is inside.
No apps. No databases. No technology needed.
Just clear, lifesaving information when seconds count.
Interested?

Email the OCSO at [email protected] or call 845-291-4718 to get your kit or for more information.

It is with deep sadness that the OCVFA announces the passing of Robin Reynolds.

Robin dedicated many years of service to the fire service community and to this Association, serving with pride, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to the volunteers of Orange County.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Montgomery Volunteer Fire Department and the Reynolds family during this difficult time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Rest in Peace Robin. Your service and legacy will forever remain part of this Association.

The Montgomery Fire Department announces with deep sorrow the passing of Robin Kleister Reynolds.

Robin held numerous distinguished positions in the fire service, including Past Captain of the Montgomery Fire Police, Past President of the Montgomery Fire Department and the Fleet Hook and Ladder, and current Treasurer of the Department. Additionally, she was an active member of the Orange County Associations and the Hudson Valley Associations, and was honored with the Orange County Woman of Achievement Award in 2016.

Robin dedicated countless years of service to this department and to the fire service community. Her leadership, commitment, and steady presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege to serve alongside her.

Funeral arrangements are currently pending and will be shared once finalized.

The members of the Montgomery Fire Department extend their heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones during this difficult time.
