a rapid emergency response to all types
of conditions: fires, medical
emergencies, motor vehicle accidents,
and assistance services.
Both groups operate out of two stations
within the district. The main station at

7 days a week. The substation located on
River Road, just east of the
intersection of Balltown Road and River
Road, is staffed Monday through Friday

provides this level of coverage. The
volunteers of Grand Boulevard Fire
Company respond from home, or from
either station depending on their
address within the Fire District.

GBFC and the PFA are overseen by the
Fire District 1 Board of Fire
Commissioners.
