Dear Neighbor,October, 2015
Greetings from the Cayuga Heights Fire Company. It is our privilege to serve our
community in the small things like “limbs down” to the big ones, such as “patient non-
responsive” or “flames showing”.
This letter seeks support for the Fire Company. Your tax dollars support the durable
capital costs of the Cayuga Heights Fire Department, meaning the community fire
station, firefighting apparatus, and core equipment. The Fire Company supplies
secondary resources, such as fitness equipment, furnishings for the station, recruitment
and retention costs, event-related meals, community events, and public education
materials for children and adults.
With your help, the Fire Company fulfills our mission of emergency operations,
recruitment and retention of volunteer fire fighters, and public safety education. This is
an invitation to partner with us.
As you read this we are training a new set of recruits for emergency service in your
community. They will engage twenty hours of initial training, countless hours of
practice and evaluation (with senior member instructional hours added in!), and
courses from the New York State Office of Fire Prevention & Control in order to be
prepared for “the next emergency”. In time they, too, will learn how much the support
of our community really matters.
Not only do I ask for your financial support, I invite you to “catch the fire” and join us
as a volunteer fire fighter or emergency medical technician (EMT). We’d love to have
you join the team! Information may be found at www.chfd.net or www.fireinyou.org.
The Cayuga Heights Fire Company is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. Please make
your tax-deductible check payable to Cayuga Heights Fire Co., No. 1 and return it in the
enclosed envelope.
Thank you for reading this and for your support.
Sincerely yours,
Rev. Steven D. Felker, for the members of the Company
