Hamilton Fire Department

Fundraising

  The members of Fountain Fire Company No.1 and the Hamilton Fire Department conduct several annual fund raising events in order to assist the Village of Hamilton in providing the equipment needed to keep up with the ever changing needs of the fire service.
  Every year the company members participate in two
Food For Thought programs, which are designed for the parents of the students at Colgate University to provide an assortment of snacks to help the students as they prepare for final exams.
  Members also hold a golf tournament at The Seven Oaks Golf Course, and work at the fire department's food tent at the Bouckville Antique Show.

  In recent years, our fundraising efforts have allowed us to purchase an updated set of Holmatro extrication tools (jaws), new high pressure air bags, a thermal imaging camera, a new light rescue vehicle, and update our radio communications equipment. All of these purchases have been funded through Fountain Fire Company, and would not have been possible through the Fire Department Budget.

The Hamilton Fire Department and the village of Hamilton have recently ordered a new American Lafrance heavy rescue truck. This year's fundraising efforts through the members of Fountain Fire Company will be directed towards the continued purchasing of much needed updated rescue equipment for the new truck.

The Hamilton Fire Department and Fountain Fire Company No.1 would like to thank all of those who have participated in our fundraising events in the past year.

(Please email us to request information on any of these fundraising programs.)

Next Food For Thought Delivery will be April 30, 2008
