  25. According to the DES website which is shown near the top of the forum, "There are 19 members who respond are first responders to fire emergencies on the entire Valhalla Campus from 8am - 3:30pm Monday through Friday. After hours the campus is covered by Valhalla and Hawthorne Fire Departments." As for chief cars, I know the Chief there drives a red Suburban, low profile, which can be seen in the photos from the Irvington fire on 1/15/06. It is 3 pictures down from Dobbs Ferry Car 2093
