Donate Today Old Village Fire Company incurs about $80,000 a year in expenses such as
firefighting tools, turnout gear, engine repairs and firehouse maintenance.
Unfortunately, the State limits the amount of funding we can receive from the
municipality. We receive $30,000 annually from the Township of Middletown,
leaving $50,000 that we must raise each year through donations.
As technology advances in personal
protective equipment, so do the costs. On the average it costs
approximately $2,500.00 to outfit one firefighter. Each firefighter
must be issued all of the following at a minimum.

These prices coupled with the cost of apparatus and equipment maintenance,
emphasizes the need for fund raising through charitable donations
from the community.
