Over the next few days, if you live in the Quakertown Fire Company's initial response area, you will receive a mailer from us. The mailer has several different objectives including increasing the public awareness of all QFC does, and helping you understand all the different ways you can assist us whether through joining our ranks, supporting our fundraisers or giving QFC a donation as 2013 comes to an end. Our goals continue to be not only maintaining our level of service but increasing our capabilities and lowering our response times thus delivering a better product to the residents and visitors to Alexandria, Franklin and Union Twps.
