It is time for the Bon Air Fire Company’s annual Fundraising Drive. We would like to extend out most sincere thanks to those who have given to our organization in past years. Without your generous support, we would not be able to continue to provide the same prompt and professional emergency services you expect and deserve from your local, volunteer fire company.

This year, Bon Air celebrates a milestone. We are entering our 95th year of volunteer service to you and the community. Remember, we are part of your community – we are your neighbors. Our ranks include: Sam Berry, of Glendale Road, who has over 55 years of service; Jim Wood ,of James Drive, with over 40 years of service; and Joe Noone,, of Pilgrim Lane who has over 7 years of service, just to name a few! We are always looking to grow our organization. Whether you are a plumber, electrician, web designer or just want to participate in fire company events, give us a call.

In 2012, Bon Air responded to 180 emergency calls. Bon Air members are active in our community, participating in events that include The Hilltop Civic Association’s Easter Egg Hunt and the Movie Night at Steel Field. We proudly supported the Hilltop Baseball League and took pride in leading the season opening parade. Bon Air held its first Annual Safety Day in 2012, at the fire house on Royal Avenue. We look forward to holding this event at Merry Place in 2013. On a cold Sunday morning, our members walked down every street in our district, to ensure everyone had an opportunity to see Santa. We are proud to be part of this community. Even with all of our community involvement, we at Bon Air still find time for many hours of training and maintenance of our equipment and apparatus.

Guests are always welcome to visit the firehouse. Email or call us any time. We encourage each of you to come and visit. Thank you in advance for your generous support and kind thoughts
