Youth Programs
Attention: Greenland Youth Leaders
If you are a troop leader in scouts, 4-H or other groups
serving Greenland youths consider a tour of the Greenland Volunteer Fire
Department. This is a fun, interactive tour that explains what we do
and the services we provide for the town. You'll see what happens in
dispatch when there is a call, what EMTs do and how to use a fire hose.
Plus, you'll get to meet some of our volunteers.
If you would like more information, please send us an
e-mail.

Trainees
We’re
evaluating the community’s interest in a youth trainee program. This program is
available to Greenland men and women who have completed 8th grade
and are between the ages of 14 – 18. The program teaches life skills,
promotes leadership and provides exposure and hands on experience in fire
service and emergency medical fields. The youth members will meet at least
once per month for specialized training and are encouraged to attend the
monthly fire and EMS training provided by the department.
Youth
participants are required to complete a safety program before they are
allowed to assist on fire or medical calls. The department restricts participants
from attending calls that are deemed inappropriate or dangerous.
To
pursue a career as a Firefighter and/or EMT, you must be 18 years old and
pass State certification. This program will provide the base knowledge for
this certification.
If you would like more information about the
youth program, please send us an
e-mail. |
