FYI: Back in the early 1980's or so, Yonkers had an agreement with the Greenville FD to cover any fires at the nursing home located on the corner of Jackson Avenue @ East Grassy Sprain Road, Greenburgh. Iit was written up in the newspaper along with mentioning that YFD Station 14 would also respond to the Fountainhead condos on Central Avenue @ the Greenburgh border. Not sure if this agreement still stands or not...
