On Friday, March 6th at approximately 10:00 PM, the volunteers of the Greenlawn Fire Department were requested to respond as a mutual aid Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) to the East Northport Fire Department while they operated at a working residential structure fire.
Quickly on the road were Chief of Department Joseph Pace and Second Assistant Chief Matthew Paulsen, followed closely behind by Station 1 Rescue Engine 2-7-8, led by Firefighter Anthony Jones.
Upon arrival, the crew was immediately assigned as the Rapid Intervention Team, standing by and ready to assist firefighters operating on the fireground if needed.
Greenlawn units remained on scene for approximately one hour before being released and returning to service in the district.
All Greenlawn units operated under the command of Chief of Department Joseph Pace.

During this blizzard, the volunteers of the Greenlawn Fire Department remain in-house and ready to respond to the needs of our community.
While many are staying warm indoors, our members are standing by at both stations to ensure uninterrupted emergency coverage throughout the duration of the storm.
We urge all residents to use extreme caution and follow these important winter safety tips:
• Stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary to allow plows and emergency vehicles to operate safely.
• Clear snow from fire hydrants near your home to ensure quick access in an emergency.
• Shovel safely — take frequent breaks, push snow instead of lifting when possible, and avoid overexertion.
• Check on elderly neighbors and family members to ensure they have heat and necessary supplies.
• Keep vents and exhaust pipes clear of snow, especially for furnaces and generators, to prevent carbon monoxide buildup.
• Use generators outdoors only and never inside a home, garage, or enclosed space.
In the event of an emergency, dial 9-1-1 immediately.
Stay safe. Stay warm. Stay prepared.

Great Job GFD and Chief Joe Pace. Thank you
Great job stay safe!
Good job boys stay safe
This morning, the volunteers of the Greenlawn Fire Department were out and about doing what we do best.
Our Sunday started the way it normally does — Firematic Probie practice at Station 1 and Rescue Probie practice at Headquarters, both beginning in the early morning hours. Training never stops, and neither do we.
While our newest members were sharpening their skills, the department continued to answer the call. Between 6:30 AM and 4:00 PM, Greenlawn volunteers responded to 11 alarms for service — including 6 ambulance calls and 5 fire calls.
No matter the time, the weather, or the schedule, the volunteers of the Greenlawn Fire Department remain ready to serve this community 24/7/365.
