SUNBURY – Sunbury Fire Police are raising funds for updated equipment… Captain Bruce Colyer says the company is raising money to purchase new radios, which are much-needed and will cost about $58,000. Colyer says fundraising efforts are also important this year to make up for lost revenue during the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Friday, July 2, the fire police held a drawing for a Blackstone griddle and air-fryer worth about $500. They said Skeeter Wolfe of Sunbury purchased the winning ticket. The next scheduled fundraising event will be a basket bingo at the Eagles in September and the fire police are exploring the idea of having a firearm drawing this summer.
Colyer says they are also researching grant opportunities for the new radios, with the city, and with State Representative Lynda Schlegel Culver.
