nbsp   I recently moved to the area and was surprised to receive a fund drive request from the fire department in the mail. Don my taxes pay for fire protection?
While all four municipalities we serve do contribute to the fire department budget, tax dollars only make up about 33% of the overall income. The rest comes from funds generated by the fire department. Our largest and most successful means of acquiring these needed funds is by a direct mail fund drive appeal to the homes and businesses we protect. Incidentally, your contribution to Fire Department Mount Joy is tax deductible.
