FIRE DEPARTMENT MEETINGS - EVERYONE WELCOME
We invite everyone to our monthly meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of every month at 5325 Spring Mountain Rd. - Fort Smith, Arkansas. Meeting time is 7:00 p.m.
WHY A $25.00 ANNUAL CONTRIBUTION
The annual contribution of $25.00 accounts for approximately 70% of our budget every year. Additional donations, grants, sales tax percentage, and fund-raisers account for the other 30%. We proudly boast an approximate 80% contribution return rate on annual notifications. Twenty-five dollars has been the yearly dues for the White Bluff - Rye Hill Fire Department for the past twenty-plus years. These yearly dues cover your home, business or property while lowering your insurance rates. It is only through the continued support of our patrons that this fee has not been increased. PAID MEMBERS are NOT subject to the $250.00 per truck and $10.00 per hour, per man, non-member fire fees collected by the department responding to a fire on their property.
While the rest of the world is charging more for their products and services, our fire department provides you with excellent fire protection for a yearly contribution of $25.00. The difference in determining how quickly we upgrade our department and equipment is based mainly on additional donations, made by you, your family, or your business. All contributions are tax deductible.
Our Annual Newsletter and Membership Dues Notification is sent out at the first part of each year to those who live, own property, or own a business within our area. If you would like a copy and are not in our area, please give us a call or e-mail us!
