Greenfield Fire District

What Greenfield Fire District does

Greenfield Fire District (GFD) is a non-profit governmental special-purpose fire protection district organized under New York State Town Law, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Greenfield Center, New York. It provides fire suppression, emergency response, fire prevention, and community safety education services to the residents of the Towns of Greenfield and Wilton, covering 82.910 square miles and a population of over 10,000 people. The district operates through four fire companies — Greenfield Center (Company #1), Porter Corners (Company #2), Middle Grove (Company #3), and Maple Avenue (Company #4) — plus a central District Office, and is staffed entirely by volunteer firefighters with only a small administrative cadre (District Secretary, Director of Purchasing, and Board of Fire Commissioners).

Its service model is built around standard firefighting apparatus (fire trucks, emergency vehicles) and a Knox Box rapid-entry key storage system that enables fast building access during emergencies. Service capacity is sustained through a volunteer recruitment pipeline that emphasizes free local, county, and NYS-certified training and a Length of Service Award Program (LOSAP) that pays pension-like credits to active volunteers. GFD does not have a commercial revenue model: it is funded entirely through voter-approved property taxes collected within its exclusive service territory, with annual budgets subject to public hearings and the New York State property-tax cap.

Governance is provided by an elected Board of Fire Commissioners; recent activity includes a December 2025 commissioner election (Jon Davis joining the Board), a voter-approved increase in LOSAP credits, the opening of a part-time District Treasurer/Deputy Secretary position, and co-partnership with the Saratoga County History Center on a community documentary film series. The district does not have parent companies, subsidiaries, patents, or AI/technology products; it operates as the largest and most active volunteer fire district in Saratoga County.
