November 14, 2025 —The Dupont Volunteer Fire Department is reminding residents that its 2025 annual fund drive is currently underway and that there is still time to contribute. The department’s yearly appeal, which recently arrived in mailboxes throughout the community, plays a critical role in supporting daily operations.

Funds raised through the annual drive help cover essential expenses including utilities, equipment purchases, preventive maintenance, insurance, and other general operating costs necessary to keep the department ready to respond to emergencies at all times. As a volunteer organization, the department relies heavily on community support to maintain services and ensure firefighters have the resources they need to protect lives and property.

Department officials expressed their gratitude to those who have already donated and encouraged residents who have not yet participated to consider doing so. Community contributions directly impact the department’s ability to operate safely and effectively throughout the year.
