| See us in action at the following events around our district and outlying areas. |
We would like to remind all to please check your house numbering. Put yourself in a Responder's shoes to see how easy it is to see your numbering. Appropriate Sizing, coloring, and placement can make our jobs easier. Check your numbers to make sure the harsh winter has not destroyed them. |
| BUILDING UPGRADES We are currently enjoying our new facilities. There are still many upgrades on the horizon. At this point, we are all paved throughout. A security system and standby generator have been installed. |
| GRS Ambulance News GRS is currently operating 4 ALS and 1 BLS Ambulance. Additionally, we operating one SUV Support vehicle, an off road rescue trailer with an ARGO and ATV, and an MCI trailer with radio capabilities. In 2019 we purchased an additional ambulance to serve as a backup unit in the event of extended down time of a current unit. Contract Paperwork was signed to re-mount the Current 2951 module onto a new 2021 Ford F-450 4x4 Gasoline chassis. Stay tuned and watch our facebook for status updates. Photos can be seen on our apparatus pages. |
| STRETCHER UPGRADES In early 2020, we received a grant from the Glens Falls Foundation. Using budgeted funds and this grant, we were able to purchase two power stretchers. In late summer, we were awarded the AFG from FEMA for the purchase of two additional power stretchers. These stretchers have been proven to reduce the physical stress on our responders. |
| ARGO UPGRADES In 2020 we were the recipient of a grant to increase our water rescue capabilities of our ARGO. We will be purchasing a boat motor, several safety devices, GPS Units, Thermal Imaging Cameras, and an inflatable boat with the grant funding received. |
