Firefighters to Serve Community in a Different Capacity

Firefighters from Madison Hose Co., No. 1 will be raising funds through a Tip-A-Firefighter event at Donahue’s Madison Beach Grille on Thursday, November 1st from 5:00pm – 9:00pm.

Supported by owners Pat and Chris Donahue, and their staff, the firefighters will be working with the wait staff taking orders and serving meals. During the course of the meal, diners will have an opportunity to donate toward the volunteer fire department. There will also be many door prizes to be raffled.

Madison Hose is an all-volunteer, professional fire department serving the residents and businesses of Madison in the southern district. Services include fire prevention, fire suppression, entrapment extrication, boat rescues, and other types of rescues.

While the Town of Madison provides the bulk of equipment funding, there are always pieces of equipment that do not fit into the normal budget cycle. The volunteers raise funds to purchase those equipment items and to maintain the firehouse, which the volunteers own.

Since 1907 the members of Madison Hose Co., No. 1 have served the Madison community and its visitors. Thousands of response and training hours are donated each year by the members who take pride in the service they provide to Madison and neighboring communities.
