Mission Statement
The Greenville Fire Department is dedicated to providing a safer community through preparedness, prevention and effective emergency mitigation.
Junior Firefighter Program
Our junior firefighter program offers any teen aging 14-18 a start in the fire service. It allows teens to get a feel for the trade before fully committing to the fire department as a full-fledged member at age 18. Our junior firefighters experience hands on training, assist our regular members at work sessions and trainings, respond and assist at certain 911 calls, and they will receive the necessary training of a full-fledged member by 18. Not only is it a huge benefit and accomplishment for themselves, it also benefits us as a department. We are able to put the juniors on as fully trained regular members instead of beginning their training at 18. Our program has been successful over the years, producing junior firefighters whom have worked their way up through the ranks to the Chief of the Department. Applications for this program can be found at the Greenville Town Office, Greenville Fire Department or by clicking here. For more information please call 207-695-2570.
