The 2010 Fire Dues Drive has begun.

The dues drive is our major fund raiser for the year. Last year we had a fifty percent participation. The volunteers support you and your family in times of need. The volunteers when asked go to your block parties with the fire truck or ambulance. We are in your neighborhood schools and day cares teaching the children fire prevention safety. We need your support and we know we can do better than fifty percent of our fire district  paying dues. If you did not get a mailing to your home, click on the form below for the support form and make your donation today. Dues can also be paid by using Pay Pal. Click on the link FIRE DUES.

Thank you for your continued support.
