Monroe Fire Company is asking for your financial support to help offset the cost associated with equipping its volunteer firefighters with new digital pagers.
Monroe Fire Company relies upon volunteer firefighters to respond from home, work or wherever else they may be at the time of an emergency. These dedicated volunteers selflessly put their lives on hold to serve the community whenever duty calls. Volunteer firefighters are alerted by pagers, ensuring they are always ready to respond at a moment's notice. The current pagers utilized by Monroe Fire Company have become obsolete and new digital pagers must be purchased to remain compatible with the Cumberland County 911 communications system. The commitment and quick response of volunteer firefighters is vital to the safety of our community. Without the invaluable service of these volunteers, the efficiency and effectiveness of emergency response would be greatly diminished. This unwavering service exemplifies the true spirit of neighbors helping neighbors.
Monroe Fire Company receives revenue from the fire tax (.406 Mills); however, this is only a percentage of the fire company budget. A significant source of funding relies on generous donations from the community, fundraising events, and grants. These contributions are crucial in ensuring that the fire company can continue to provide essential services. Without the support of local residents and businesses, Monroe Fire Company would struggle to maintain its operations and effectively serve the community. Your support makes a difference.
