On behalf of the Nyack Fire Department, we would like to share information regarding the upcoming Chief’s Inspection Parade on Saturday, October 8th.

This is a long-standing tradition held every two years to honor the current sitting Chief of the Department – currently Chief Dana Mickle. We will be hosting over 30 fire departments from across the county and beyond.
