YOUR SUPPORT IS NEEDED!
Each year Eureka VFD responds to over 500 emergency calls. Without the proper equipment and volunteer personnel this would not be possible. This service cost money to operate. Each year Eureka sends out two mailings to our residents, one is for the FIRE and the other is for our EMS. The first one, our fire fund drive is sent out in mid-late January of each year. This is a request for a donation that goes into our general budget to be used to pay the various bills. Our average annual budget is around $450,000 per year on the fire side. This year we sent out around 5,000 donation requests and so far we’ve received a total of 750 donations…folks that means only 15% of our residents sent back a donation. The good news is that we’ll be sending out reminders to those residents who didn’t respond back to our first request. PLEASE consider donating to your local fire department! We truly appreciate your continued support!
The Eureka Volunteer Fire Department relies on donations from our community and various year-round fundraising programs to support every aspect of our Department. Initiatives include volunteer recruitment & retention programs; fire, fire police and rescue training; emergency vehicle purchases; fire prevention activities; community outreach programs, equipment and supplies — and more.
The EMS Subscription will be mailed out sometime around June.
