It is with regret that we announce the passing of Deputy White Plains Fire Chief Edward J. Ciocca due to complications from COVID-19. Deputy Chief Ciocca was a third generation firefighter who served for 35 years. His father, Deputy Chief Adelmo Ciocca, served the community from 1954 – 1992, and his grandfather, Chief Edward J. McDonald, was Chief of the White Plains Fire Department from 1950-1958. In 1958 Chief McDonald was appointed the Commissioner of Public Safety. Deputy Chief Ciocca had a passion for the City of White Plains and for ensuring the safety of his men. White Plains thanks you for your service, Deputy Chief Ciocca. Our condolences go out to the Ciocca family and his many friends and colleagues.
