Members should be reminded that invitations to our annual dinner will be given out based on participation at department calls, training, meetings and activities in an attempt to keep the cost of this event down.

The Bloomington Fire Department takes great pride in trying to operate within a budget that we feel provides the residents of the fire district with the best protection for the lowest cost to our community.

In the event that anyone would like to make a donation to us, or in memory of a friend or loved one,  please feel free to mail your donation to: Bloomington Fire Department, PO Box 111, Bloomington, NY 12411.

All members are urged to use the I AM RESPONDING PROGRAM to notify the department that they are on their way to calls.
