Thank-You to everyone for their generous support !!!

            The Adamstown Fire Company is once again beginning its annual fund drive, and we thought it would be appropriate to provide you with an update on some of the activities that occurred during the year 2008.

            First, we would like to thank you for your generous support during 2008, not only with your annual monetary donation, but also with your attendance at our Chicken Bar-B-Q’s, Soup and Sandwich sales, and Big 300 ticket sales.  Every penny is allocated to help keep our equipment in service, train our firefighters, and continue to provide our residents with critical emergency services 24 hours a day.

            The Adamstown Fire Company responded to 86 calls totaling 726 hours of time in service during the year 2008.  In addition, our volunteers have been training every Monday evening in a variety of aspects of emergency services.  These include fire suppression, emergency medical, rescue, hazardous materials, and terrorism training.  This past year alone, the Fire Company has a total of 1654 hours performing training in Fire Suppression, Rescue, Hazardous Materials, and Emergency Medical Services in station, and at the Pennsylvania State Fire Academy and Lancaster County Public Safety Training Center.

            The Adamstown Fire Company is more than just a fire company. We’re volunteers, but we’re also friends and neighbors.  We give our time generously to protect you and those you love 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year.  We provide emergency services to over 1400 homes and businesses in Adamstown Borough and parts of East Cocalico Township, Brecknock Township, and Spring Township, and assist on mutual aid calls throughout the area.

            Help us reach our goal in 2009 of raising $46,000.00. Funds from this years fund drive will be used towards purchasing new and improved equipment to help with the needs from your service calls for assistance. Funds will also be used towards operating and maintaining our current station, apparatus, and equipment. Your donations are very important, so please give whatever you can.

            In these tough economic times, your continued monetary support is essential to us since there is no direct TAX for the fire service. Over 75% of our operating funds come from donations given by you and your neighbors. The members of the Adamstown Fire Company are hoping that you will see it fit to continue to contribute your generous donations to the fire company’s annual fund drive, so that we may continue to provide you with the finest emergency services in the area. Please send your tax-deductible donation today, and help an organization that will be there for you when you need help.

            On behalf of all the Officers, and members of the fire company, we thank you once more for your support and look forward to your continued support in 2009.

YOUR TAX DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS ARE GREATLY NEEDED TO PROVIDE THE NECESSARY TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY SERVICES. REMEMBER, OUR SERVICES ARE STRICTLY VOLUNTEER, WE RESPOND 24 HOURS A DAY, 7 DAYS A WEEK, AND 365 DAYS A YEAR. PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO MAIL YOUR DONATION TODAY.
