Green County Fire and Rescue is a volunteer department that is funded minimally by the local governments and state assistance. In addition, billing for services and grants makes for another small portion of our budget. The main contributor and the financial assets that keep us in operation is the purchase of coverage and memberships from our local community. You are the ones that keep us in business. Unfortunately, many see us as a paid department with a million dollar budget. This is far from true. In fact, our operating budget is around $80,000. This is far lower than any other surrounding larger departments. This is also at minimal operations. Here are some facts, GCFR makes approximately 200+ incidents a year. Of those, around 85% to 90% are billable services. Here are some average costs.

Residential Structure Fire = $2,140.00

Motor Vehicle Collision / Extrication = $2,185.00

Wildland Fire / Uncontrolled Burn = $2,080.00

Motor Vehicle / Mobile Property Fire = $1,350.00

Our cost of annual membership is $70 for the first deed and $30 for each additional deed owned. For that small amount it is a 75% reduction in cost for any billable services. The cost per incident drops drastically. Take a look below.

Residential Structure Fire = $537.00

Motor Vehicle Collision / Extrication = $546.00

Wildland Fire / Uncontrolled Burn = $520.00

Motor Vehicle / Mobile Property Fire = $350.00

We need your help! Each year memberships are decreasing due to changes of address, individuals not understanding, and more. Help us so we can help you. Nobody expects an emergency to happen to them. When it does we will be there to help. However, it is our hope that you will take time to pay your dues to assist us in having quality service for our community.

NOTE: Residents that live in the city limits of Greensburg or that reside in the Summersville Jurisdiction do not pay dues to Green County Fire. If you do not know or need help please let us know.
