4xfourfun 30 #1 Posted May 13, 2015 (edited) Figured I may throw this out to my RS family. My fire department is in a contest to win a $1250 grant through Illinois American Water. I know it doesn't seem like much but with our budget constantly getting cut back due to falling property taxes it would help a bunch! You do not need a facebook account or to sign in, just follow the link and with one click you can vote. I'll post the direct link below please vote for Godfrey Fire Protection District. And I'll also post a link to our facebook page and the link is posted on there daily too. The contest runs through the 15th of this month and you can vote 1x a day so please keep coming back if you can and feel free to share or re-post! You can also vote per device you have(phone, tablet, laptop, PC, etc). Anyway, appreciate any help we're in 2nd place but not by far. Direct link to vote for Godfrey Fite Protection District http://bit.ly/1IFAfvU Or here is our facebook page and link is posted on there daily: https://m.facebook.com/godfreyfire?tsid=0.3300187070854008&source=typeahead Thanks so much for any help.

953 nut 51,018 #5 Posted May 13, 2015 You got my vote, today and every day. I was a volunteer fireman for several years and know what you mean. When you save property or a life everyone loves you, but come tax time they all turn their backs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4xfourfun 30 #8 Posted May 14, 2015 We work with Brighton FD a lot, they are a great crew. We were just up there a couple weeks back for a basement fire and the week prior to that they were down helping us with a large brush fire in a wooded area along the river. if you ever need anything next time you're in the area give me a holler. Thanks for all the support! -Ben Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
