Radnor Fire 2025 Fund Drive

THE ISSUE: There is a nationwide crisis looming for Emergency Services. Unlike municipal Fire Departments we are combination non-profit that relies on donations. 

Fire call volume is at an all-time high and continues to grow exponentially. Our services are not just relegated to fire calls. We respond to car wrecks, weather related emergencies, search and rescues, and assist in medical and police calls when needed.

Volunteerism in the fire service continues to drop precipitously. However there is a nation wide shortage of qualified professional Fire Fighters. 

The costs for equipment, training and supplies have skyrocketed. Our expenses in just the last two years have risen by 22%.

There is no dedicated tax that funds RFC, and less then 50% is funded by municipalities, EMS Billing 32%, Donations 11%, 13% Other.

The Result: RFC is a best in class fire company. Without additional support we will be unable to provide this level of service that you have come to expect. 

FACT CHECK

• We are a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit. 

• Our funding comes from grants and community support.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

With the generosity of the community we will continue to provide world class Fire/Rescue Services that our residents and visitors expect.
