Toys for Tots

General No Comments

As the holidays draw near, the Reisterstown Volunteer Fire Company is excited to be a collection site for Toys for Tots as well as non-perishable food donations for people in need.

Toys for Tots donations must be new, unwrapped toys in their original packaging. We will also be collecting new coats, hats, gloves and blankets.

All donations can be made through contactless drop off via the back entrance to our station. This area is covered to protect donations from the weather. Donation bins will be checked regularly or you can call the station to let us know when you drop items off.

Thank you for continuing to support our station and our community. Every donation helps make someone’s day a little brighter.

Reisterstown Parade

This morning was the Reisterstown Parade. We pulled the apparatus out and washed it all. Just as the parade was starting S414 was dispatched for an overturned tractor-trailer in Carroll County. S414 went enroute up to the call and just as they arrived they were cleared off the call.

S414 made it back down to join E413 and SU418 for the parade.
