🚒❤️ THANK YOU, MEDFORD COMMUNITY! ❤️🚒

We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who came through and supported our annual roadblock this past Saturday. Your generosity and continued support are truly appreciated and never taken for granted.

The funds raised directly support the operations of the Medford Volunteer Fire Department, including helping purchase essential personal protective equipment (PPE) to keep our firefighters safe while serving our community.

Every donation, big or small, helps ensure we can continue providing the best possible service to the citizens we proudly protect.

If you missed us and would still like to contribute, you can donate anytime by visiting www.medfordvfd.com.

We also want to let everyone know that our next and final fundraiser of the year will be our annual Letter Drive, which will go out this fall. We appreciate the tremendous support our community shows year after year, and we look forward to another successful campaign.

We were proud to donate several sections of retired fire hose to Appalachian Bear Rescue.

Earlier this year, thanks to a grant awarded through the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office, our department was able to replace aging and outdated fire hose that had served our community for many years. While this hose had reached the end of its useful life for firefighting operations, we are excited that it will now serve a new purpose helping care for and rehabilitate black bears at Appalachian Bear Rescue.

We are grateful for the support of the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office and the opportunities grant funding provides to improve firefighter safety while also benefiting organizations that make a difference in our region.

Thank you to Appalachian Bear Rescue for the incredible work you do caring for Tennessee’s wildlife. We are honored that this retired equipment can continue serving a meaningful purpose.
