The Dryridge Volunteer Fire Department is 100% Volunteer and we are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days per year and ready to lend assistance to you, the members of our community.

Although we receive a small operational budget from the township, it is not enough to keep our doors open. We thrive through your generous donations. Your dollars are used for three primary reasons: to help us maintain and upgrade our fire house, to buy new equipment and to fund advance training opportunities for our members.

Firefighters as a group are not very good at asking others for the additional financial help, yet your support is critical to us!

For those that do not know, the Dryridge Volunteer Fire Department is one of eight independent volunteer fire departments in Unity Township. This brings one obvious advantage to our residence- millions of dollars saved on salaries, benefits and pension liabilities, and it also brings other benefits. Those who come to assist you are your friends and neighbors. Whether it is a carbon monoxide detector beeping for no apparent reason in the middle of the night or a fully involved structure fire, we respond, because you are members of our community, not our employers.

When a natural disaster strikes, the Dryridge Volunteer Fire Department, can mobilize certified firefighters to come to your need at No Charge!

Since the Dryridge Volunteer Fire Department is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization, your donations are tax deductible. If you have any questions regarding our non-profit status, please contact us. As always, please remain safe and thank you for your support.
