Ridge Road Fire District

What Ridge Road Fire District does

Ridge Road Fire District is a New York State special purpose municipal fire district serving the residents and businesses of the Town of Greece in Monroe County, New York, organized as a government entity under New York law and governed by a Board of Fire Commissioners. Founded in 1922 and currently staffed by 51–100 personnel, the district operates three fire stations — Headquarters on Long Pond Road (housing Engine 252, Quint 250, and Rescue 258), Stoneridge (Engine 253), and Ridgeway (Engine 254) — and delivers fire suppression, emergency medical services, technical rescue (vehicle extrication, water rescue, rope rescue, structural ventilation), hazardous-materials response, and a suite of community risk-reduction programs including CPR training, child passenger safety seat inspections, blood pressure screenings, and smoke/CO alarm installation support.

The district's operating technology centers on specialized fire and rescue apparatus rather than software systems, with the Quint 250 aerial ladder truck serving as a flagship asset that combines pump, hose, water tank, and aerial functions and which responded to over 1,600 incidents in 2025. The district holds two notable third-party validations: an ISO Class 2 Public Protection Classification rating (achieved 2017, one of only 20 fire departments in New York State at this level) and Commission on Fire Accreditation International (CFAI) accreditation, first earned in 2005 and re-accredited in 2010, 2015, 2020, and 2025 — making it the only CFAI-accredited municipal fire department in New York State and one of roughly 336 accredited agencies globally.

The revenue model is tax-based rather than commercial: the district is funded primarily through local property taxes and provides emergency and community services free of charge to all residents and businesses within its jurisdictional boundaries. A limited set of fee-based services exists (notably $35 flu shots for participants without billable insurance, and voluntary donations for CPR classes), but these are peripheral rather than material to funding. Marketing and resident engagement are conducted principally through the district's website (rrfd.org), an active Facebook page, in-person K-5 and senior outreach, and joint programming with neighboring Greece fire districts and the American Red Cross.
