It is with deep regret that we advise you that Captain Vince Iaccino of the Roosevelt (Dutchess County, NY) Fire District has died in the Line of Duty. While training at the Dutchess County Fire Training Center last evening, 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.
