Chris Pearl – Firefighter

What I like most is, it is a great place to work but at the same time, it’s like another family to me. 

As a firefighter, I have the opportunity to help people and save lives.  I volunteer because it’s fun and it’s important to me to give back to my town. I have a full-time job that allows me to be a volunteer firefighter.

Dick Hazzard – Dispatch

In 1956, when I was a child, our house (48 Post Road) caught on fire.  The Greenland Volunteer Fire Department saved my family’s home.  I joined when I was 16 years old. 

(48 Post Road is the School Administrative Building)

Jason Caruso - EMT

I enjoy being a volunteer because it allows me to give back and be a part of my community. The training I have had and skills I have learned are invaluable too!

Ralph Cresta – Chief and Firefighter

The Greenland Volunteer Fire Department came to my house and put out a chimney fire.  Before they left Jack Driscoll asked me when I was going to join.  I’ve been a member since 1984. 

Susan Dame – EMT

I joined because both my boyfriend and my brother were on volunteer fire departments.  They both encouraged me to join and become an EMT.

Through volunteering, I realized how much I really liked being an EMT and helping people.  I’ve changed careers from working in an office to working in an Emergency Room. 

Derek Simpson - EMT

I volunteer to give something back to the community, and keep my taxes low.

What I like most is that I get to work with a great group of people.  Being an EMT allows me to experience first hand the difference you can make in a person’s life.

Colleen Sodini – First Responder

I believe volunteerism is important and this is my small way of contributing to Greenland. 

I really enjoy meeting the people in our town and it’s very rewarding being able to help them.  I am very proud of the Greenland Volunteer Fire Department and proud to be a member.
