Twenty-four local fire and rescue departments have received $750 each as part of a January allocation from Landus Cooperative to 66 departments at a total of $49,500.

Fire and rescue workers are essential to the health and safety of our farmer-owners, employees and community members and we are proud to do our part to support them.” The annual grant amount reflects an increase of 10 percent over last year’s $45,000. A listing of area departments receiving grants is included below.
Two Greene County first responders have been nominated to receive the Sullivan Brothers’ Award of Valor following their heroic efforts to pull a woman from the waters of Buttrick Creek just over a year ago. On Oct. 19, 2019, multiple agencies responded to a report of a vehicle that had left the roadway and entered the waterway. Greene County Deputy, Shane Allen, and Churdan Volunteer Firefighter, Nate Byerly, leapt into the creek without regard for their own safety to pull 55-year-old Ouida Wiggins to shore. The Sullivan Brothers’ Award of Valor was created to recognize outstanding acts of heroism, and Greene County Sheriff, Jack Williams, says their life-saving efforts certainly met this description.
