North Greece is in one of
the largest Fire Districts in Monroe County operating
from three fully-manned stations. North Greece is a combination
department with 33 career staff, 28 part-time employees,
and 75 volunteers. This Fire District protects a 46-square-mile
area comprised of residential communities, businesses,
and undeveloped land. In addition, they own and operate
a training facility. Their Fire Safety Education Program
has received state-wide recognition for its innovative
education programs and child car seat safety inspections.
The North Greece Fire District opened a new 17,000 square
foot station, with a large physical training room
featuring the Paramount XL Series strength system. Thomas
J. Grace, Assistant Chief, states, "The space designed
in the new station finally gives us the room and a quality
atmosphere for participating in physical training. Three
of our people completed a Physical Fitness Trainer Certification
Course designed to assist participants with a more personalized
program. With the purchase and installation of the Paramount
Fitness equipment, we are confident we have a state-of-the-art
facility that will serve us for many years. Paramount equipment
was chosen because of the durability desired and the equipment
purchased seemed to fit our specific needs. Our users are
extremely happy with the equipment and we have received
many compliments at this point." |
