Donations You never know when you will need us. In fact, you personally may never need us...but what if you do? Regardless of the circumstances we will be there. When we show up on scene its comforting to know your local fire deptartment has state of the art and functional equipment. But as trucks age and equipment breaks down, its a must to replace. We have multiple fundraisers throughout the year to raise money for our Fire House. These funds go to various sundry things from uniforms to equipment purchases. Yes, we get revenue through taxes, but when new fully equipted fire trucks cost over $1 millon, we have to do fundraisers to mitigate some of that cost. While we do apply for grants we don't always get what was asked for, and in some cases nothing at all. We rely on your generosity to help us raise adequate funding for whatever our needs are. If you would like to donate now, please click HERE or go to the Donate button on the top left side of this page. All donations on this site go through Givebutter, which accepts Master Card/Visa and American Express. If you prefer not to use your credit card donations can be mailed to us at: Edgmont Township Fire Company No.1 Please make check payable to: Edgmont Township Fire Company No.1 or if you prefer you can stop by our fire house any Thursday between the hours of 7:00 PM and 9:OO PM. We like this option because we can thank you in person. Donating To Your Local Fire Department I grew up in what was at the time a small town and my parents always donated to the local fire department. We never had to call them for anything thankfully but, my Mom always looked at it from the view that they are volunteering and risking their lives the least I can do is contribute. I started donating to Franconia Volunteer Fire Company after I settled and purchased my house. I know that times are tight for a lot of people but, every penny counts. Take $5.00 for example, if everyone gave that amount it would make a huge difference. I was just speaking to one of my neighbors and he was expressing his guilt for never donating. It wasn't until he had to call them for help a couple weeks ago that he gave it any thought. Chest pains turned out to be nothing too serious for him but, he lives alone and said at the time the pain was so great he couldn't drive to the hospital. Guess who showed up? Yes, Franconia Fire Company. You never know when you might need to call for help and if everyone took the approach of “I’m never going to have to call so I’m not donating” resources they use to respond with would be severely diminished. It’s not about how much you can give; it’s about coming together as a community and doing what you can for the greater good. I hope I never have to call for help but, that won’t stop me from making a yearly donation. When you see them on the road kindly get out of their way immediately, you would want other citizens to do the same if it was your family they were hurrying to rescue.
