Safety & Training

Continuous training for first responders is one of the most important factors in ensuring that everyone remains safe at all times. First responders must make time to remain relevant with apparatus, equipment, techniques, and their skillset. Often, training takes an equal amount of time as responding to emergency calls and budget to train and maintain a successful and safe fire company. However, volunteer fire companies have an additional challenge finding the budget for continuous training and your donation helps to ensure that Greenfield firefighters and EMTs can respond to calls safely, quickly, efficiently, and execute flawlessly.
