LODD ~ ROOSEVELT FIRE DISTRICT, HYDE PARK N.Y.

The Arlington Professional Firefighters would like to offer our thoughts and prayers to the family of Captain Vince Iaccino and the Roosevelt Fire District during this difficult time.

While training at the Dutchess County Fire Training Center on 4-12-2010, Captain Iaccino developed severe chest pains. He was transported, ALS, aboard Roosevelt's ambulance to a local hospital. While en route to the hospital, Captain Iaccino went into Cardiac Arrest. CPR and ALS interventions were administered, however the Captain tragically never regained a pulse. We have also been advised that Captain Iaccino has 2 sons who are also members of Roosevelt FD. One son was at drill and accompanied his Father to hospital. The Roosevelt Fire District is located in the town of Hyde Park, NY, County of Dutchess and is located approximately half way between New York City and Albany NY on the east side of The Hudson River. Captain Iaccino was the Captain of the RFD's Emergency Service Squad.
