Support the Fowl River Volunteer Firefighters

Help Us Support the Fowl River Area Volunteer Firefighters and Their Families This Holiday Season.

About the Fowl River Volunteer Fire Department

Our small but mighty team of eight dedicated volunteer firefighters in the Fowl River community go above and beyond every single day to keep us safe. They respond to emergencies, protect our homes, and serve with courage—often risking their own well-being to safeguard ours.

The Fowl River Volunteer Fire Department (FRVFD) is composed of Chief John Corideo, eight volunteer firefighters, and a volunteer administrative assistant. Last year, they responded to over 1000 calls, covering over 35 square miles with a population of over 11,000. They put their lives on the line to protect us, and they receive no compensation for it.

The FRVFD has an ISO rating of 5.5, which equates to great response times and lower insurance rates for those living in their district. As homeowners, we only pay $60 per year for fire protection, and businesses pay just $100. Now is our chance to say “Thank You” to these dedicated volunteers.

Our Goal

This holiday season, we’re raising $16,000 to provide financial support to these brave firefighters and their families. Many of these volunteers juggle multiple jobs while committing their time and energy to keep our community safe. The holidays can be a stressful time, and we want to help ease that burden for them and their families.

How Can You Help?

We are asking for donations to help make the holidays a little brighter for the families of our local heroes. Every dollar raised will go directly to supporting these eight firefighters and their loved ones, helping them cover holiday expenses, gifts, and maybe even a much-needed break. No contribution is too small—every bit helps.
