This past
year, the fire department has ordered and took delivery of a
2009 KME Predator Panther engine. The cost of this truck came
in at $249,000. We also invested another $45,000 for hose,
breathing apparatus and other equipment needed to operate the
new truck. This truck is currently our first due truck,
replacing our 32 year old Mack. This new truck is also going to
be certified to assist in medical emergencies with the Ambulance
Corps.
This truck
was funded by everyone’s generous donations and the hard work of
your firefighters with assorted fund raising events throughout
the year.
As many of
you have received our fund drive letters in the mail recently,
it is these tax deductible donations that keep the Fire Company
operating. As we all have seen, the economy is affecting
everyone. It is also affecting the fire department. So please
help us so that we can continue to help you. If you cannot
afford any donation, please fill out and send back the response
form in the self-addressed envelope. This will help us with
valuable information that will assist the fire department in the
need of an emergency.
The fire
department always has a need for volunteers. If you would be
interested in volunteering at the fire department as a driver,
firefighter, fire police, or just to help us out in anyway,
please call 610-966-3535 or stop by the fire house any Tuesday
morning at 9:00 a.m. or Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m. for more
information.
Social
Hall
We
at the Alburtis Fire Company hope everyone had a joyous holiday
season. Please stop by and visit our establishment for good
town socialization and refreshments. There are also scheduled
events on most Friday nights for everyone’s entertainment
ranging from Karaoke, DJ’s and live bands. All proceeds from
the social hall help to keep the fire company in operation to
better serve you.
Fire
Hydrants
If there is
a fire hydrant located near your property, you may want to help
the Fire Department by removing the snow around it.
