save time, effort, and money. These types of support include: accounting, legal support, writing expertise, public relations, strategic planning, printing, budgeting, fundraising, and advertising. Also, we need the community's support to sustain our organization. Your donations keep our services available to you. We are always seeking in-kind support, such as materials, services, and equipment. If you would like to help us in any way, give us a call today. We are always here to serve you, and again, we are always ready to assist you in times of an emergency crisis. We are your partners in making our community a better place. The easiest way to join our department is to stop by our firehouse and ask for a membership application. Our members will be glad to answer any questions you may have or show you our equipment. Since our department is 100 percent volunteer, our firehouse may not be staffed at all times. The best time to stop at the firehouse would be about 7:00 pm on the second and fourth Mondays of every month. These are the dates for our fire company meetings. Feel free to drop by and introduce yourself.

It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that Hope Fire Company No. 2 announces the passing of Life Member Donald “Donnie” Townsend Jr. of Philipsburg, who passed away on April 11, 2026.

Donnie dedicated over 53 years of faithful and selfless service to our company and the community. Throughout his time in the fire service, he held numerous roles, including serving as both President and Chief of Hope Fire Company, and Chief of the Philipsburg Fire Department. Donnie also played an integral role in the fire company’s construction of the Rec. Center on 6th Street which is still used today to hold fire company functions, meetings and fundraisers, as well as a continued and steady source of income through rentals. His leadership, commitment, and passion for the fire service left a lasting impact on all who had the privilege to serve alongside him.

Donnie’s legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched, the members he mentored, and the community he so proudly served. He will be greatly missed but never forgotten.

Funeral services will be private and held at the convenience of the family. Please feel free to share a story or fond memory of Donnie below.
