The Griggsville Fire Department is always looking
for new responders!
If you live in the Griggsville Fire Protection
District (or work in Griggsville during normal weekday hours) and are
available to respond to fire, rescue and mutual aid calls 24/7/365 we want
to talk to you.
If you want to 'give back' to the community,
consider joining our
all-volunteer agency.
Response hours: Horrible.
(Usually during bad weather, dinner, family functions,
ballgames or while sleeping.)
Financial compensation: Zilch.
Rewards: Priceless.
We will train and equip dedicated members to the
highest standards.
No previous fire service experience is required.
All persons are welcome to apply. We can find a
job for any willing and dependable person with any level of ability from
many backgrounds.
Contact Chief Bradshaw or any Firefighter for
more information.
Griggsville Fire Department County-Wide
Communications Equipment Grant
After four years of applications by the Griggsville Fire Department, in 2008 GFD received a $300,000 Federal Assistance to Firefighter's Grant to improve communications infrastructure for all Fire, EMS, Law Enforcement and Emergency Responders county-wide.
With additional funding from the Pike County Sheriff's Department and continuing funding from the Pike County Emergency Telephone System Board (911), the original system is maintained to a 99.95% up-time regional availability standard.
Upgraded regularly and fully operational even during extended loss of public utilities, this self-contained single system provides incident notification, coordination and consolidated interoperable communications at all incident responses for fifteen public safety agencies, and our surrounding mutual aid partners.
Without this grant, many Pike County fire agencies would still be relying on outdated incident notification and sub-standard and proprietary communications systems funded by each individual agency and maintained as their budgets allow.
