Coronavirus shutdown causing financial crisis for volunteer fire departments

The departments rely on Lenten fish fries and bingos to pay most of their operating costs.

Thank you to our local politicians for thinking of the volunteer fire departments and EMS agencies during this time.I’m calling on the Governor and PA Legislature to include funding for Volunteer Fire Companies in a PA Emergency Financial Relief Plan in response to this public health and economic crisis. Our local fire departments are almost exclusively volunteer organizations. Fire departments rely on proceeds from events held at their fire halls like bingos and fish fries. The loss of revenue will have a devastating impact on our volunteer fire stations. Volunteer Fire Companies are the bedrock on which public safety is built here in Pennsylvania. Immediate State financial support for our volunteers is the least we can do for them.

Members give freely of their time to serve and protect our families and our communities.
I strongly urge the Pennsylvania Legislature and Governor Tom Wolf to provide critical equipment and financial support to our local volunteer fire departments as soon as possible.

At this time NBFD Fish Fry will be cancelled until further notice. We will continue to monitor this situation as it evolves. We apologize to all of our faithful patrons but for the safety of the community and the volunteers we have made this tough decision. ... See MoreSee Less
