Howell's Adelphia Fire Co. Set To Host Valentine’s Day Fundraiser

HOWELL, NJ - Set your beloved's heart on fire while helping out those who put out the real ones.

Whether you're purchasing roses this year for your partner, friends or family, the Adelphia Fire Company is once again asking locals to support the local department during its traditional Valentine’s Day Fundraiser Sale, slated to take place Feb. 13 and 14 at the firehouse.

Now its fifth year, the seasonal fundraiser will offer two-dozen color roses for $25, one-dozen red roses for $20 and one-dozen color roses for $15.

"We've been around since 1927, and our 100 year anniversary is getting close," said Brian Prochnow, a training officer and former fire chief at the station. "Our goal is to put [funds] toward a 100th anniversary celebration and building improvements."

Improvements would include restoring original buildings on the Adelphia property, including the original fire house that is currently used for administrative offices and fitness facilities. The fire company aims to restore the building (built in the 1920s) to its original vintage design.

You can purchase bouquets at the Adelphia Fire House (925 Adelphia Road) on Feb. 13 and 14 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., while supplies last.
