Monroe Fire Department will host new chili cook-off to kick off fire prevention week
Summary
City of Monroe Fire Department and Greene County EMS will stage a new chili cook-off and open-house on 12th Street to help launch fire prevention week; food will be available free or by voluntary donation and winning teams will donate proceeds to Greene County nonprofits.
The City of Monroe Fire Department presented a new chili cook-off planned as an open-house-style event on 12th Street, organized in partnership with Greene County EMS, and intended to help kick off fire prevention week. Chief Rufe said the event will rotate among the fire department, the police department and the EMS garage and that participating emergency services units across the county are invited, including the sheriff's department and local clinics.
Chief Rufe described the event's charitable mechanics: attendees may eat for free or donate "if you wish," and teams that register agree to designate a Greene County nonprofit to receive the event proceeds if they win. The committee did not discuss specific dates, budgets, permits or staffing levels during the brief presentation; the item was approved along with two other events by a single committee vote.
