Sunbury’s 6 volunteer fire companies and volunteer fire police are feeling the pinch since the coronavirus pandemic.  To ensure they have enough funds to last throughout the year, many local fire departments host bingos, fish fries, carnivals, competitions and festivals; and hold other events throughout the year. The cancellation of many of those events as a result of the coronavirus has area fire  department chiefs and officers wondering  what they’ll do to make  ends meet. WHEN YOU CALL, THEY RESPOND!  THEY ARE NOW CALLING ON YOU! 


If every household donates ONE DOLLAR per person that lives in their home, imagine the amount that could be raised! All funds raised will be divided between the  6 Fire Companies and the Sunbury Fire Police. 


 Pennsylvania’s volunteer fire departments are financially on their own. Some volunteer departments receive funding dedicated via municipal budgets, fire taxes and grant awards. But, that money only goes so far. Volunteer firefighters, within limits, are required by law to have the same training as their paid counterparts, but are often responsible for paying for that training out of their own pockets. They often work with neighboring departments and agencies to cover costs. Additionally, volunteer fire departments are responsible for paying for insurance, purchasing equipment and for raising money or obtaining loans/grants for vehicles such as fire trucks and engines, which can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. Thank you for supporting the Sunbury Fire Department!
