Limestone’s First “New Home Day”
According to FEMA’s National Fire Department Registry, a national database of over 27,000 fire departments, almost 91% of all registered fire departments in New York state are volunteer. That’s right, in most communities, volunteer firefighters are the first line of defense in many different emergencies; including fires, natural disasters, vehicle accidents, and more. Volunteers invest a significant amount of time in serving their communities, and the costs to train and equip them can create challenges for small departments. Show your appreciation and support by coming out to Limestone’s New Home Day event on Saturday, May 11th, which benefits the Limestone Volunteer Fire Department!
