250 Years Of Fire Service History

Donation protected
The Union Fire Company was founded on January 27, 1767. It was formed out of necessity to perform fire protection services for Bordentown City and the surrounding communities. Notice that year, 1767; our fire company was formed before the birth of the country on July 4, 1776, which took place in Philadelphia PA. In fact, our antique pumper that we are trying to restore used to belong to the Humane Fire Company in Philadelphia. When it was received by our company, it was cheaper to change the name of our company then to change what was on the pumper. We became the Humane Fire Company. In the 1960’s the City of Bordentown was covered by 5 companies. The Hope Hose and Humane merged to keep the charter continuous. Since the merger, we have been known as the Hope Hose Humane Co. No. 1. We have been proudly providing Fire, Rescue, and Emergency Medical Services to Bordentown City and the surrounding communities.

We have managed to stay volunteers through some very tough times. We keep your taxes low, by not having a fire tax. We stay in operation through fundraisers, renting out our spacious banquet hall, and the generous support of our very supportive residents.

We know times are tough. We are all feeling the financial hardships affecting our community, especially the residents. We are preparing to have our 250th Anniversary Parade and Celebration. The show piece of our event is to display our antique hand-pumper. We need financial contributions from people near and far to get our hand-pumper restored. The restoration will be costly, but in the end, the price will be worth it to see our antique back in great condition. Our parade date is scheduled for June 10, 2017.

We have set up a gofundme.com account to help raise funds for this very special endeavor. Every dollar will help. If you can find it in your heart and wallet, we would greatly appreciate your donation.

Thank You in advance for your cooperation and support!

Sincerely,

Officers &  Members of Hope Hose Humane Co. No. 1
