Hello everyone, I come from Moonachie N.J. with a population of about 2,754 with 1,074 housing units; a land area of 1.73 sq. miles and a population density of 1,596.50 people per sq. mile. We are 2 miles North of the Meadowlands and about 9 miles from Manhattan, N.Y..
Another fund-raiser idea that also gives training to firefighters.
There might be abandoned or condemned buildings in your area. Advertise that for a small fee, (depending on income maybe you can do it for free), your department will come do a controlled burn, setting the place on fire for the customer to get the condemned building burned down.

Would be interested in any comments. The book, Unsung Heroes, can be seen at....Blurb.com... and on their site search for Bill Gillette. It was an honor for me to have access to do the book. You all are a great bunch and the public needs to know and appreciate all you do. Bill Gillette
FREE National Clearinghouse for Firefighting Equipment
Chiefs or equipment officers who need gear, apparatus, or
anything else used in firehouse operations can visit the site,
post what they are looking for so that chiefs or equipment
officers can find you and pass on their out of service but still
serviceable gear.
Chiefs and equipment officers who have taken things out of
service and would like to have the gear used by other firefighters
can visit the site, post what it is they have and be easily found by
those who might put it to good use.
The site is FREE to use by both sides. The arrangements made
for transfer are between the transferring companies. We suspect
that there are times when gear will be transferred without any
money changing hands. And sometimes there will be sales.
We want two things. We want firefighters to have what they need.
We want those who use the site to look at how we are funding this
effort and to take the time to look at the information about how the
Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.’s Life Events Legal Plan can help
every firefighter and the firefighter’s family.
Good Day,
I’m Stephen Eric P. Chua, a member of De Castro Subdivision Homeowners
& Neighborhood Assn. Peace & Order Council, Brgy. Paso De Blas/
Brgy. Mapulang Lupa, Valenzuela City, Philippines headed by Mr. Graciano
C. Carreon (DCSHNA) President, and Engr. Norlito R. Rollan, II (DCSNHA)
Peace & Order Council Chairman.
Our peace & order group all non-paid volunteers from all walks of
life, would like to inquire regarding on how we could obtain request
donations of old, used, 2nd hand fire helmets, turn out coats &
pants, hoods, gloves,SCBA packs & maska fire boots, that are not in use anymore and for
disposal from your kind department . That we would put into good use in
voluntary service to fight fires and respond to emergency/ disaster
& Calamity calls not only in Valenzuela City, but for the rest of
Metro Manila and nearby provinces as the need arises for FREE.
Our volunteer group would like to expand our voluntary services as a
Fire & Rescue Volunteer Group, and maintain our advocacy to help
save lives & properties, and to help those others in need.
We do hope that you could help us in our goal and mission, and hope to hear from you soon. Thank you and God Bless.
Respectfully yours;
