Alden Peterson retired as Fire Chief in May of 2002.  He has dedicated many, many years to the Town, its people and the Fire Department. Best of Luck with retirement Alden! Thank you for all you have done to make the fire department what it is today.

Citizens of Greene:

This is the 52^ndAnnual Report of the Greene Volunteer Fire Department. I would like to take a moment to thank all the residents for their support of the Greene Fire & Rescue Department. We have had a very busy year will 256 calls.

I would like to remind the taxpayers of Greene to please number your houses and mailboxes so that we can find your house in a time of an emergency. You can call the town office 946-5146 for exact location and numbers sizes for your home. An unmarked house could cost us valuable time.

Please don’t forget check your smoke alarms and your co2 detectors for dead batteries. 

Take the time to plan an emergency route from your home in case of emergency with a meeting place for family members.

Have a cell telephone? Did you know you can program the following?  ICE is an emergency phone number programmed in a mobile phone's address book under the name ICE (in case of emergency). In case of emergency numbers, or "ICE numbers," as they are commonly known, are used when a person is unable to provide emergency personnel with personal information.

Remember to Buckle up! It does save lives. It is also a proven fact that helmets worn by bicycle and motorcycle riders help prevent  serious head injuries.

All outside burning requires a permit in hand. If conditions allowed, permits are issued at the Greene Town Office Mondays 9:00AM – 8:00 PM and Tuesday thru Friday 9AM-4:30PM.  Burning permits for Saturday and Sunday are issued on Fridays.

The Greene Volunteer Fire Department and Rescue is run totally by volunteers. We would like to THANK  the volunteers and their families for their dedication to the Department and the Town of Greene for providing emergency services to the community.

The Department extends gratitude for the donations they continually receive; these donations assist the Department for items not funded by the Town.  

Respectfully submitted,

Joe Brown, Fire Chief

Phil Lavoie, Assistant Fire Chief
