GREEN RIVER — The Green River City Council will consider approving changes to the agreement with Sweetwater County for the Green River Fire Department (GRFD) to provide fire services outside city limits during its meeting Tuesday night.
The city entered into an agreement in May with the county to provide fire services outside of the city limits on behalf of the County. The initial agreement was for six months. The agreement came into action after the Sweetwater County Commission decided to dismantle the county fire department and instead work with the GRFD, Wamsutter, and Sweetwater County Fire District No. 1 to provide the county fire services.
The fire chiefs from the three fire agencies reported recently that the services have been going well so far. Green River and Sweetwater County would now like to extend the agreement by changing the term of services from six months to last through June 2024, with five automatic two-year extension clauses.
