More than 100 people from approximately three dozen county agencies converged on the center to practice handling a mock nuclear accident at Indian Point. They interacted with officials from Westchester, Putnam, Dutchess and Orange Counties. (Oct. 2, 2012)
Last week, Rockland County Fire Director Gordon Wren watched as his 22-year-old daughter donned a wet suit and jumped into an icy pond to save a fellow firefighter during a simulated water rescue in Pomona.
"I stood there, I saw her in the wet suit and she just jumped right in," said Wren. "She did it. I was so proud of her."
Wren, 65, has been the go-to guy for everything emergency...
