Jr. Dept. History

Back in 1974, the Green Springs Fire Department realized they had a number of the Firemen's sons between the ages of 14-18 and decided it would be a good idea to organize them into a Junior Fire Department. Since that time there have been many firemen's sons and daughters as well as other young adults from around the community become part of the Junior Organization.

Membership has ranged from as many as fourteen, to as few as six with many different advisors throughout the years. Denver Sours was the first advisor and a real promoter in the department to get it started.

Their activities over the years have been training sessions with the regulars on the department, as well as helping out on fires during the day when the department is short handed. Their primary responsibilities are to assist the department in pulling hose and cleaning up after a fire. On accident scenes they direct traffic and maybe help land Life-Flight.

Other activities include money-making fund raisers from picking up trash, bingos, go kart races, and car washes. They also help out the regular department on all their fund raisers. Many of the Juniors have gone on to be regular Firemen on the department.
