We’re Here for You 24/7—Now We Need Your Support
Dear neighbor,
When emergencies strike, volunteers of the Fincastle Volunteer Fire Department answer the call-day or night, in every season, without hesitation. From fires to vehicle accidents and EMS assists, we stand ready to protect lives and property.
We can’t do it without your support.
Your support is essential to keeping our department running strong. This year, we’re aiming to raise $100,000 to ensure our department remains well-prepared and fully equipped to respond when our community needs us most.
Last year’s contributions enabled significant improvements to our station, including better accommodations for our live-in volunteer responders. With your help, we’ll continue building on this progress.
