Dear Neighbor, 

 

The Bloomsbury Volunteer Hose Company has been serving the residents of Bloomsbury, Alexandria and Bethlehem Townships community protecting life and property since 1905. Your local firefighters are your neighbors who volunteer their time to serve the community. We respond to your calls for assistance 24 hours a day, 365 days a year in any weather, at any time of the day or night. We are here to provide fire protection and other emergency services to the local citizens and traffic along Interstate Route 78. 

 

Our calls have included structure fires, vehicle fires, chimney fires, fire alarms, carbon monoxide alarms, vehicle extractions, rescue calls and searches as well as assist Pattenburg Rescue Squad when needed. We have also responded to many calls related to severe storms in our area this year. 

 

Although our volunteers’ services are FREE, your generous donation helps to maintain the station, fire apparatus and the emergency equipment we use to protect you!

 

A small donation of $50 goes a long way, but be as generous as these tough economic times allow. Please send your contribution in the enclosed envelope now. Your donations really do make a difference. Help us continue the American tradition of protecting our area through volunteerism. 

 

The Bloomsbury Hose Company's budget operates on your continued support of our fundraisers. Some of the ways in which you can support us are:

 

• Our annual fund drive

• Our semi-annual 50/50 raffle

• Rental of the hall

• Our donation link

• Various other fundraisers held throughout the year

 

All of the money we raise during these fundraisers is used to provide our members with new protective gear and training to make needed updates and repairs on the building.

 

Rest assured that should you ever be alerted by the sound of a fire alarm, with your home or business quickly filling with smoke and/or heat, we will answer “the call” and make whatever sacrifices are necessary to protect your most valuable assets. Simply because…it is what we do! We are here for you in your time of need; will you help us during our time of need? 

 

THANK YOU!

The Officers and Members of Bloomsbury Hose Company No. 1
