Winter 2010
Dear friends and neighbors,
The members of
the Mansfield Township Fire Company #1 would like to wish everyone a safe, and
prosperous new year. We would also like to thank our neighbors for your
continued support of our Fire Company. In these tough economic times all of
your support becomes even more essential in keeping your family, and neighbors
safe. Did you know it costs more than $2500.00 to outfit one firefighter with
his/her basic personal protective equipment. Many of you reading this letter
may ask, what do our donations go to in the Fire Company? We use all of your
donations to supplement our budget that we receive from the Township of
Mansfield. All of your donations no matter how big or small are greatly
appreciated, especially in these harsh economic times $10 goes a long way.
Over the past
year we have had several more members become Firefighter 1 certified, as well as
a couple of members continuing there schooling to become Firefighter 2
certified. We have added several new junior members that are doing a tremendous
job in serving our residents. Starting this week 4 new members will be going to
Fire Academy to become Firefighter 1 certified. We would like to thank all of
our members for answering the ultimate call and becoming Volunteer firefighters,
that’s right we are 100% volunteer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We don’t
receive any pay for all of our time answering calls, training, fundraising, and
we still are growing in rank and thank all that do and everyone that supports
our Company. Did you know that every Tuesday night of the year we are at the
firehouse doing drills, meetings, and maintenance on our equipment. If anyone
is every interested in what we do you are welcomed to come over on a Tuesday
night and meet with our members. We would be glad to answer questions and give
you a tour around the firehouse.
Starting March
2nd this year we will be running a weekly Bingo for anyone over 18 to
come and enjoy, please pass the word along to all of your friends and family.
We are always looking for new members to join our company. Even if you don’t
want to fight fires there are always things that need to be done, we offer
Active, Junior, and Associate memberships. We all hope that your families and
neighbors have a very safe year of 2010. We thank everyone for all of your
donations and continued support, and remember that all of your donations are Tax
Deductible. Please remember that we also have offer a full banquet hall for all
of your event needs.
Thank you for all of your
support,
The Members and Officers of
