How to Support Our Local Fire Departments

Looking for a great way to support your local fire department? One answer could be to stop in and find out how to volunteer but another is to be sure to attend their events.

How To Support A Hudson Valley Fire Department

Many fire Departments in our area are volunteers and they rely on us as a community to show our support at the events they put together throughout the year. In recent years many firehouses have gotten quite creative with how they raise money.

Take a quick look at the list of events I found just by checking out some of our local fire company's social media. See if we have included your local fire department. If you don't see them on the list reach out so we can add them next month.
