Donations

The population of our small community is ever-increasing: numerous apartment-type homes are being constructed, manufacturing is again on the rise, and Hardy County continues to appeal as a summer getaway destination for many. Moreover, the need for our services continues to grow, so do the demands placed on our aging apparatus and our over 50-year-old station.

To continue meeting the needs of our expanding community, we are moving forward with several critical improvements:

• Our 1999 first-out “attack” unit has been successfully replaced with a slightly larger, more advanced truck. We ordered this apparatus in 2023 and have now received it, at a cost of over $350,000.

• Replace our overcrowded and aging building on recently acquired land adjacent to the current location. The estimated cost for this new facility is $8,400,000.

• Replace our 1986 engine with a state-of-the-art 107-foot aerial ladder truck. This new unit will serve both as a pumper and a rescue apparatus, capable of reaching upper floors of taller structures. It will enhance our ability to save lives and improve firefighter safety during operations such as ventilation and chimney fires. Consequently, the projected cost is over $1,600,000.

Furthermore, these upgrades will have a significant positive impact on the members of MVFC and the community we serve. In addition, enhanced capabilities lead to greater safety for both our responders and the public. Additionally, improvements in our Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating could lead to lower insurance premiums for homeowners. While we will pursue grant funding for these initiatives, community donations remain vital to our continued success.
