A message from the Salem Volunteer Fire Department Inc., Salem, NY

We sincerely appreciate the continued support from our community—past, present, and in the future.

Every tax dollar we receive goes directly towards the daily operations and overall well-being of the Salem Fire Volunteer Department.

Fundraising efforts play a vital role as well, helping us offset operational costs, support firematic needs, and fund major projects
such as the construction of our new firehouse and the recent blacktopping of our parking lot—both made possible through your generous contributions not your tax dollars.
If you have any questions pertaining to the Salem Volunteer Fire Department, Inc please reach out to myself or another fire or administration officer of the department.

Also, just a little heads up that the fire department yearly fund-drive letter is in the mail and we have incorporated a QR code for receiving donations this year.

Thank you to every individual and business that stands behind us in our endeavor's past-present-future.
Your support truly makes a difference.
Thank You!!
