Had a great day in Altoona today at the Greater Altoona Career Technology Center. Two great groups of Future Public Safety Fire Responders and Emergency Medical Services Providers. Lots of Interest and Lot of Questions and interacting with the Greensburg Bloodhounds. Thank you to the GACTC for Asking us to be part of their program.

Let’s provide some Christmas Miracles🥰

We are so very fortunate to have a home to live in and food on the table. Unfortunately, there are many people in our community who struggle to provide a meal for their family. This Christmas the GVFD will be donating meals to some of Greensburg’s less fortunate.

All of these families have children. Let’s make sure these kids don’t go hungry on Christmas.

🚨If you are able to sponsor a family for $25 please comment “I’m in” and checkout with link below ⬇️

We had our second CO call in the last 7 days. Thankfully no CO was detected in either situation. Here is a question we get asked quite often, "Where Should I Place a Carbon Monoxide Detector"?

Each floor needs a separate detector. If you are getting a single carbon monoxide detector, place it near the sleeping area and make certain the alarm is loud enough to wake you up. ... See more
