Local Firehouse Holds Annual Christmas Tree Fundraiser

In 1978, Hillside Hose Co. No. 1 volunteer firefighters began selling Christmas trees as a service to the community. This planted the seed for what has become decades of tree sales and generations of loyal patrons.

Hillside's trees are sourced from one of the oldest growers in Northern Quebec, Canada. The fire company sells a variety of sizes to fit your home and your budget. Every customer receives the personal attention they deserve - from a fresh cut on the trunk to having the tree secured to your vehicle for your trip home. In addition to trees, the firehouse also sells wreaths, garland, and grave blankets.

You can purchase your tree, wreath, garland, or gravel blanket along with a tree stand and lights at 132 Western Ave in Morris Township. Hours of operation are:

Monday through Friday 3 P.M. - 9 P.M.

Saturday 10 A.M. - 9 P.M.
