Thank you to the Katelyn Tosi Foundation for their generous donation to the Dover Fire Department! This contribution will enhance fire and medical services in Dover while honoring Katelyn Tosi's legacy.

The Dover Fire Department is honored and deeply grateful to receive the first annual $40,000 donation from the Katelyn Tosi Foundation in memory of Katelyn Tosi.

This generous gift will support the Department's ongoing mission of providing exceptional fire and emergency medical services to Dover residents while honoring Katelyn's legacy and the values of service, compassion, and community that she embodied.

The Tosi family's connection to the Dover Fire Department spans generations. Katelyn's mother, Renee Foster, dedicated more than 30 years of service to the Department, retiring as a Lieutenant and EMS Coordinator. Today, her father, Captain Bobby Tosi, along with her brothers, Lieutenant Kevin Tosi and Lieutenant Brian Tosi, continue that tradition of service as members of the Dover Fire Department.

The Department extends its sincere appreciation to the Katelyn Tosi Foundation and the entire Tosi family for their extraordinary generosity and continued commitment to the Dover community. Katelyn's memory will continue to make a lasting impact through this annual donation and the positive difference it will make for years to come.

Thank you for helping us honor Katelyn's legacy of caring, service, and dedication to others.
