West Mead Township District #1 Volunteer Fire Company, Inc.

Goal: $1,500.00

Specific Need

We are raising funds to equip our emergency medical services responders, making them more effective in providing critical care to humans and pets. 

This year includes a focus on pet rescue, outfitting our fire engines with a variety of masks appropriate for furry patients that need oxygen after being exposed to harmful smoke and carcinogens in a house fire.

When that specific need is met, the balance of funds will go toward first-in bags, AED (Automated External Defibrillator) pads, airways, and other emergency medical supplies that we use on our 120+ emergency medical calls each year.

Mission

The men and women of West Mead 1 are dedicated to protecting the lives and property of West Mead Township. We pledge to do everything we can to keep the residents of this great community safe.
