About the project
The Branchport Keuka Park Volunteer Fire Department is now beginning its Annual Fund Drive. Your support plays a vital role in the ongoing efforts of our firefighters, EMTs and water rescue team to be there for you in times of need. While allocations from taxes cover a percentage of our expenses, we still rely on donations to keep up with the demands of operating a modern emergency-services organization.
The Steps
We are an all-volunteer organization. The funds we raise will be used for volunteer retention, training and department services.
Why we‘re doing it
In New York state, 90 percent of the fire departments are made up entirely of volunteers. Nationwide, the number is 70 percent. Which means when you need help, the people taking care of you and your loved ones are there out of a sense of duty. We spend countless hours training for incidents big and small. This training and the quality of equipment at our disposal is essential to providing fast, reliable service when you and the community needs us most. Your support makes a difference.
