Appleby Fire Dept.

Saturday December 12th Santa was scheduled to make his annual trip to Appleby and visit all the boys and girls in the area, riding on one of our fire trucks. Unfortunatly Santa was rained out. It is not safe for anyone, including Santa, to ride on top of the fire truck in such bad weather conditions. Sadly his busy schedule, as well as the busy schedule of the AFD firefighters and members, prevents Santa from making his annual appearance in 2009 since there was only one Saturday left before Christmas. Santa did however leave word for us to tell all the little boys and little girls of Appleby to be on their best behavior and weather permitting, he will come personally visit them on the fire truck next December.

The Appleby Fire Dept. is pleased to announce we were recently awarded a SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) Grant. This grant will allow AFD to hire three paid trained firefighter/EMT personnel to work during daytime hours. These firemen will allow for much faster daytime respones to fires, wrecks or any medical emergency. Over time the grant funding will slowly dwindle and we will need your financial support to help keep these paid firemen on staff, so they can quickly respond to emergencies in the Appleby area.
