the 1960s, responded to numerous brush and grass fires. GVFD consisted
of 30 active members and 15 inactive members. Inactive members were
trained firefighters who would respond, if called, for large fires.
Monthly fire training was held for all members and a firefighter trainee
program for 16-21 year olds was instituted to recruit new members.
At this time, the Greenland fire alarm system
consisted of 5 red phones. If an alarm was struck, the red phones
would ring at the Chief and Assistant Chief's houses, Clifford Flander's
home, the Fire Station and H & H Oil. In 1967 the department
purchased Plectrons to notify members of a fire.
In 1962 the Greenland Volunteer Fire Department
purchased a used 1952 Ford fire truck.
