GREENFIELD, MA (FRANKLIN COUNTY NOW) — The new Automatic Aid Agreement has been put into action for the Greenfield and Turners Falls Fire Departments. On Wednesday evening, a structure fire at a Greenfield residence was reported and under the new agreement, the Turners Falls Fire Department was automatically dispatched to the scene with the Greenfield fire crews.
Together, they supported efforts to extinguish the fire without the delay of confirming a fire before calling in aid. The new agreement will improve response times and thus improve outcomes of structure fires. Whenever a structure fire is reported in either town, both departments will immediately respond to the call.
