The Pelham Manor Board of Trustees welcomed Firefighter Jason Tortorella as Fire Captain at their meeting this past Monday evening. Mayor Lapey was honored to administer the oath of officer to Captain Tortorella, who was born and raised in Pelham Manor.
Captain Tortorella has been with the Pelham Manor Fire Department since September, 2006. During his tenure thus far, he is looked upon as someone who always rises to the occasion. Whether it is a fire, during a storm, or fixing something around the firehouse, Captain Tortorella can always be depended upon to get the job done. Besides his passion for firefighting, he enjoys coaching hockey, especially his son. He spends many hours volunteering his time as a coach and teaching the younger generation. Jason and his family currently live in New Rochelle. He will be attending the First Line Supervisor Training Program with FDNY in October.
