cherished memories.

She was a life member of the Greenville Fire Company, Greenville Auxiliary, and
Greenville Rescue. She was a Board Member of Greene EMS,Inc and the Greene
County EMS Council. She was also a member of the Greene County Fire Police
Association. She held many positions over the years, holding the position of

mark on the Greenville and Greene County community.

Another night at the station putting in the work.

This week’s drill focused on Pump Operations — practicing water supply, pressure control, hose line coordination, and the skills that keep scenes running smoothly. Training nights like these help us stay prepared, improve communication, and build confidence as a team.

*Special thanks to Westerlo Volunteer Fire Department for accompanying us for tonight’s drill!

Even though a call may only last minutes, the preparation and training behind them takes hours. Proud of everyone who came out and put the time in tonight. 🚒💪
