My name is Corey Bellarosa and I am the owner of Corey's Pickles in Montgomery. We are a community partner and are looking to help the Coldenham Fire Department in their recovery efforts. I have been in contact with the Fire Chief Matthew Hunt and got their approval to run the fundraiser. The funds will be used to help in the recovery effort and purchasing necessary equipment, provide meals for the crew, and replace personal belongings that were lost in the fire. Early this morning, the Coldenham Fire Department suffered a devastating 2nd alarm structure fire. The blaze brought extensive damage to their firehouse and apparatus, and sent five firefighters to the hospital for smoke inhalation and injury. This department is staffed with some of the bravest volunteers around—people who dedicate their entire lives to protecting our communities. Now, in their time of need, it’s our turn to have their backs.

The donation will personally be delivered to the department for their recovery efforts and any necessary funding they need. We’re rallying together in the best way we know how, inspired by our community’s love for pickles and the spirit of giving. Every dollar counts, and your support will make a real difference for these volunteers and the people they serve.

Please donate whatever you can, small or big, to support our local volunteer Fire Department as they try to get back up on their feet. Your generosity will help them recover and continue their vital work in our community. Thank you for standing with Coldenham’s bravest.
