Greenport News
There’s always something new and exciting going on with the Greenport Rescue Squad!
We will be using this section to distribute news relating to our efforts in Columbia County, as well as important press releases regarding the state of our organization and its associated individuals.
We’re far more than an emergency response rescue squad. We believe it is our duty to be a part of the community we serve. Whenever there’s a public safety course, emergency training event, seminar, class or other important information you’ll be able to find out about it here.
