Station 1 Long Range Planning
GVFRS has outgrown our Main Street Station, Station 1, which can no longer properly support the needed equipment and personnel. GVFRS has been working for nearly two years to develop options to meet the needs of the department and the community for at least the next 50 years.
You can track our progress on our Long Range Planning pages.

It's time to set up your Christmas Tree if you already haven't done so. Real trees require some daily maintenance to prevent them from becoming fire hazards. Make sure you water your tree every day. A dry tree can burn very hot and very fast. Make sure your tree is at least 3 feet away from heat sources such as radiators, space heaters, heat vents, fireplaces and candles. Also, make sure your tree doesn't block exits.![]()
