2009 Fire Company Fund Drive is in the mail!

The 2009 Fire Company Fund Drive is in the mail. Help us help you…Neighbors helping Neighbors!\
\
The Salisbury Township Fire Company is a 100% volunteer organization that relies on the generosity of our community to keep us operating.\
\
We do not receive any funding from dedicated fire or EMS taxes.\
\
All of our operating expenses, such as gas, electric & phone bills, general maintenance, and capital expenditures for things like fire apparatus and equipment are generated by donations. We realize that residents and businesses are often on a tight budget, and we are extremely appreciative of what you can donate to us.\
\
Please remember that your donations are tax deductible.\
\
The company plans for 2009 are that the funds received will support our general fund for annual expenses. We will be making our final equipment purchases for our new Squad truck which was placed in to service on January 1. The new Squad will allow us to use the larger trucks less, conserving fuel and the life of those units. The Squad also allows us to transport more firefighters to fires and allows us to fight brush fires more quickly and efficiently. We are pleased to announce this unit was paid largely from grants and was paid for the day it was placed in service. We, like everyone in the community, feel the pain of the current economic conditions, and ask you to contribute what you can. We are the cheapest insurance you can buy to protect yourself and your family.\
\
We are here to protect and serve, but we cannot do it alone. We need the continued support of those we serve.\
\
Simply return your donations using the envelope provided to you in the mailings.\

*Please be advised that the Fire Company fund drive does not cover any Ambulance Transports… The Ambulance fund drive will be mailed this summer.*
