In case of emergency, please call

East Rochester has a P.O.D. plan in place with the County and does participate in the Counties Emergency Management plan. Learn about the Monroe County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan at their website.

The 9-1-1 Center

The County funds Monroe County's 9-1-1 Emergency Communications System, and oversees the operation of the Emergency Communications Department (ECD). The ECD is the point of central reception and response to 9-1-1 dialed calls, dispatch of emergency equipment, and relay or transfer of service calls to the appropriate public service agencies. Over one million dispatches are made to police, fire and emergency services each year. The City of Rochester operates the ECD under contract with the County.

Through the Director of Public Safety, this activity administers the operating contract with the City, coordinates the participation of other public service agencies, and administers subscriber agreements. It develops long range plans for system development and enhancement and utilizes the 9-1-1 Operating Practices Board (consisting of government, public safety, private sector, and citizen representatives) for advisory policy recommendations.

Dialing 9-1-1 allows any County resident in need of emergency assistance immediate access to the appropriate police, fire or ambulance agency.

EAST ROCHESTER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT--125 YEARS OF SERVICE

EAST ROCHESTER VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT--125 YEARS OF SERVICE Read more

On May 23, 1898, a group of businessmen from Despatch (as East Rochester was known until 1906) met at Branshaud’s Hall on East Commercial Street to set up the first fire department.  On May 29th, the first official meeting was held, and the Despatch Fire District was formed.  During subsequent meetings committees were formed to find estimates for needed equipment, as well as for property and a fire hall.  It was determined that $1800.00 was the amount needed to outfit this first department.  Equipment included:  one dozen rubber coats, boots, and helmets, a hose cart, an alarm bell, a ladder truck, and three chemical carts.  Needless to say, the first fire trucks were either pulled by horses or pulled by hand.
