The desire of this committee, business owners and every tax payer is to ensure that this purely volunteer group remains intact, well trained and ready to go. Ross Township has 8 fire companies with approximately 300 volunteers consisting of fire fighters, administrative help, fire police and junior members. Every year state regulations make the cost and time requirements for training more demanding on new and veteran members. Each new member costs the companies upwards of $3,000 which is covered by Ross Township General Fund budget contributions, federal and state grants and fund raising efforts of the fire companies. Help us thank them for the commitment and a job well done by becoming a member of the Ross Township Volunteer Firemen Discount Club. Any discount of any amount is deeply appreciated. Any volunteer requesting a discount at your establishment must present photo ID to receive the discount.
