It is with deep regret, we announce the passing of our Department Jewish Chaplain Arthur Klamka. He served in this capacity within the OFD for many many years. Chaplain Klamka actually started his Fire Service Career in the OFD many years ago joining Ossining Hose Company. Life would take him north moving out of town to the North Salem/Waccabuc area. He would later join the Croton Falls Fire Department and later settle in at the Golden's Bridge Fire Department.

Arthur was a staple at our Annual Communion Breakfasts memorializing our departed members. In 2019, Ossining Hose once again made him a part of their company as an Honorary Member. We extend our condolences to his family & friends on his sudden passing. We thank you for your many years of service to our department.
