DFD Annual Fund Drive: Please support your local volunteer firefighters!

We need your help!

Residents and business owners of Downingtown Borough and East Caln Township, please keep an eye on your mailbox for the 2024 Downingtown Fire Department Fund Drive Mailers. Every year we ask for the public’s support in helping to offset costs associated with facility maintenance, equipment purchases, and other expenditures.

In recent years we have seen less than 15% of households and businesses donate. Help us get to our goal of a 30% return for 2024!

For 2024 we have made things easier with secure options to donate by personal check, PayPal, Venmo, or credit card. Just scan the QR code or return the mailer with payment. Please consider supporting the members who are there day and night to answer your call for help!
