Activities and Organizations
The Dobbs Ferry Volunteer Fire Department is a dedicated corps of men and women
who servie the village. They are organized into three companies: Resolute Hook &
Ladder, Livingston Hose Co., and Ogden Engine Co.
The Dobbs Ferry Fire Department is a statutory body of the village. The department
handles, along with its primary emergency duties, the enforcing of the New York State Fire
Prevention and Building Code. The members elect their own officers subjedct to the
approval of the Board of Trustees. The village supplies them with major equipment and
provides buildings and facilities -- the volunteer do the rest.
The Dobbs Ferry Volunteer Ambulance Corps, like the Fire Department, is composed
of unpaid citizens who have answered the call to civic duty. Unlike the Fire Department,
they've chosen to be independent of the village. They raise all funds needed for equipment
and supplies. The village does supply them with a headquarters.
The Youth Services Council is involved with improving the quality of life for
the youth of Dobbs Ferry. It coordinates various community resources, serves as a conduit
for ideas from young people and adults, and responds to the concerns of the village with
regard to behavior of young people. It seeks to provide an avenue of communication between
youth and the community.
