Annual Fund Drive In Progress

Posted in Department News on Wednesday, October 1, 2008 by franklinfire

Our 2008 fund drive is now in progress! It is important to know that our fire department receives very little municipal funding, which only pays for fleet insurance and worker’s compensation. Our budget is funded almost entirely from donations and fundraising events. Please consider making a donation in support of your fire department! Without your support, we would not be able to provide the high level of service that we currently provide.
