By Ray George, President of the Fire Board of Directors

On April 12, 2014 the Useppa Fire Department held their bi-annual Fundraiser. Thanks to your generosity the event was a wonderful success. The Fire Department raised just slightly over $157,000 net of expenses. This was far and away our best event ever and it was all due to the wonderful generosity of our members and guests. The Fire Department will now be able to achieve our goal of becoming Advanced Life Support qualified. Special thanks to the "Patrons of the Fire Department" category who made cash donations of $5,000 or more. Also special thanks to "Fire Chiefs" who made cash donations of $1,000 to $4,999. Thanks to our Live Auction donors. A big Thank You to all who donated to our Silent Auction and those that bought the items. Finally to those members who pledged $1,000 for the leased car that goes to a Wounded Warrior a special thank you. Useppa is a very special place and your generosity and support for the Fire Department will help keep the Fire Department able to provide our services to all residents and visitors.
