Text Box: Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department   Text Box: Once again, it is that time of year when the members of the Forest Grove Volunteer Fire Department of Robinson Township come asking for your help.  If you ever had an emergency, then you know that you only had to call on us once and we were there for you no matter how big or small your emergency.  Last year, only 29% of our residents donated to our Annual Fund Drive. Our Fund Drive is very important for us to maintain our annual operating expenses.  Without your donations, this would not be possible.  Having all volunteer fire departments in Robinson Township saves the residents from paying lots of money each year in taxes for a paid fire department.             The Forest Grove Fire Department is in the process of looking at purchasing a new Fire Engine.  Our 2 Engines are now 19 and 20 years old.  They will soon no longer be NFPA (National Fire Protection Agency) compliant.  Like your own vehicles, fire trucks have risen in cost.  A new Fire Truck will cost over $350,000.  This new truck will serve the community for many years to come.           Every year, we also ask for your help in another way, VOLUNTEERING.  Without volunteers there would be only a paid department.  And you know what that means!  We all pay higher taxes.  We live in a time when society looks the other way when it comes to volunteering.  “Let the other guy do it,” is the common thought.  Well a few of YOUR neighbors have taken it upon themselves to help their neighbors and community.  We are with regular jobs and families that go about our normal lives till you call upon us.  You can sleep well knowing that we are here for you 7 days a week, 365 days a year.  There are lots of jobs that need to be done to keep the fire hall up and running.  You can start volunteering at the age of 14 and up. So if being an active firefighter does not appeal to you, don’t ignore our call for help.  We need help with building maintenance, bookkeeping, vehicle maintenance, as well as other jobs.  There is a box on the return form asking if you want to know more about volunteering. Please help, and check that box.             On the return form below, you will find a questionnaire about your household.   This is important information that we are compiling to assist us in the event there is an emergency at your residence.  This information will be downloaded to the computers mounted in our apparatus and will provide us with vital information to saves lives and minimize damage when we are called to serve.”  Please take the time to complete the questionnaire and return it to us so that we may serve you better.
