Ridge Road Fire District (RRFD) is prepared to keep Greece safe thanks to a grant from Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation. The Foundation recognized our need for new lifesaving equipment and awarded us $19,162 for seven automated external defibrillators (AEDs). Please join us on October 21, 2022, at 2:00 pm at the Firehouse Subs Henrietta location, 2830 W. Henrietta Rd, as we accept the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation grant.
“We are extremely grateful to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation and our local Firehouse Subs in Rochester for providing us with this grant,” said Brian Gebo, Battalion Chief, Ridge Road Fire District. “This funding will allow us to provide even greater support to the citizens of Greece during emergency situations.”
