Dear Girard Borough and Township Neighbors,
Our 2025 Fund Drive is underway, and we’re asking for your continued support.
While the recently enacted fire tax provides much-needed funding, state regulations limit usage strictly to the purchase of supplies and equipment. These funds cannot be used for operating expenses such as our mortgage, insurance, utilities, fuel, ambulance services, training, or building maintenance.
We will be using fire tax revenue to help fund the purchase of a new custom-built Sutphen Rescue Pumper fire truck. This 1,000-gallon truck—costing $1,231,903.93—will carry hydraulic and power tools, ropes, a Stokes basket, ladders, and EMS supplies. It will also include multiple safety features including rollover protection and safety cameras, and is expected to arrive in approximately two years.
Our department is staffed entirely by dedicated, highly trained volunteers who have responded to an average of more than three emergency calls per day over the past year. We do this because we care deeply about our community, your families, and your property.
We urgently need more volunteers—both Fire/EMS personnel and administrative support members. If you're willing to train as a firefighter or EMT, or if you can assist behind the scenes with paperwork, fundraising, or logistics, we welcome you. Your time and talent could make a real impact.
Please donate to this year’s fund drive, and consider joining our team so we can continue to serve Girard Borough and Township with the same strength and commitment you have come to expect.
Thank you,
The Officers and Members of the A.F. Dobler Hose & Ladder Company
