The Fairview Fire District is a 5.5 square mile area in the Town of Greenburgh, bounded by Valhalla to the north, the City of White Plains to the east, the Hartsdale Fire District to the south, the villages of Ardsley, Elmsford and the New York State Thruway to the west. It is the largest fire district in the Town.

 

The Fire District is a political subdivision of the State of New York, independent  from the Town of Greenburgh. It was formed in 1927. It is governed by a five-member board of fire commissioners. The commissioners are elected by taxpayers in the Fire District each December. The terms of office are for five years and are staggered so one term expires each year.

 

The Fairview Fire District receives its income solely from taxable properties. Fire Districts cannot receive sales tax revenue or participate in state aid to local governments. The district can and does take the opportunity to apply for grants.

 

The Fairview Fire District is comprised of more than 45% tax-exempt properties. The majority of these exempt properties are high life hazard occupancies that require a heightened response such as;

The Fairview Fire Department is a combination fire and rescue department comprised of 44 career members and 8 volunteers members. The Department responds to approximately 2000 calls per year. We provide fire suppression, inspect public occupancies, and respond to Hazardous Material Incidents. The Department provides EMT-B (defibrillator certified) medical services with Greenburgh Police Department. The Fairview Fire Department and Greenburgh Police Department jointly serve on the Greenburgh Technical Rescue Team. and responds to high-risk rescue operations.  The Fire Department has an extensive fire prevention program. We maintain and operate the Fire Safe House, which was donated by the Westchester Firefighter Burn Foundation, and fire prevention puppets donated by The Niles Agency.  Our most recent fire prevention tools is a robotized Sparky donated by Westchester BMW. All of our fire prevention efforts are designed to teach children (and adults) about fire safety.

 

The Fairview Fire District has two fire stations. The headquarters building is located on Rosemont Boulevard one block from Tarrytown Rd. (Route 119). The second fire station is located at the intersection of Dobbs Ferry Rd and Worthington Rd. The department has three engines, ladder truck, a rescue vehicle, and four department cars. Our rescue was donated by the Hebrew Hospital Home.

 

The Fairview Engine Company No. 1 is our volunteer division. The volunteers supplement our busy career force. They are always in need of new members. If you can volunteer your service, please call (914)-949-2828.
