West Windsor Volunteer Fire Company’s annual fund drive has begun. The officers, firefighters, fire police, and support personnel of the company wish to thank all residents who supported our 2013 fund drive.
Under the command of Chief Larry Rubinstein, we are a cohesive group of highly trained emergency responders on call 24/7 to help you. This year we responded to more then 80 emergencies in January alone, working in extreme cold, ice, and snow conditions. We ask for your financial support just once a year.
Aside from responding to all types of emergencies, we have the responsibility to maintain a large fire station that was recently expanded to meet the needs of our growing community. We ask a lot from our members, who must attend an intensive fire academy and retrain constantly to maintain skills in a wide range of disciplines related to the duties of firefighters.
We receive no salary and are completely volunteer. We are not related to any phone solicitors who may ask for money for firefighters. Our members are highly motivated individuals who must balance family life, full-time jobs, and continuous training to serve the community of West Windsor. The most recent tragic gas explosion in a neighboring community only serves to remind us of the sometimes life-threatening environment in which we are called to work.
This year’s fund drive is focusing on the exceptional individuals who volunteer to serve you. This year we are also asking you, the people we serve, to make a commitment to support our hometown heroes.
Maintaining our expanded fire station and paying a mortgage and utilities is extremely costly and can only be accomplished with your support. Please be part of our success this year. To donate, visit westwindsorfire.com or call 609-799-3311.
