PIT BEEF

Calling all appetites! Typically on the first Saturday of every month, April through October, the AVFD serves up our delectable Pit Beef, Pit Ham and Pit Turkey right at the station! We start cooking pit meats around 6:00 in the morning, and it is usually ready to eat by 10am. Pit Beef is a great way for the AVFD to interact with the community as well as raise money for some of our needed improvements to continue to serve the citizens of Crofton, Gambrills and Davidsonville.  Please visit our Calendar for updated dates and times for this not-to-miss event!

 CURB PAINTING

Picture yourself calling 911 for a medical, fire, or police emergency and the help you need is delayed in getting to you because they can't locate the correct address. This is exactly the kind of incident that two of Crofton's volunteer service organizations are trying to avoid.

The Arundel Volunteer Fire Department and Boy Scout Troop 731 of Crofton are continuing their fundraising project to mark the curbside addresses of Crofton homes; making it easier for emergency responders to find your house. For a $20 donation to the AVFD you will have a 12"x5" white reflective background with 3" black numbers painted on your curb in a location visible to emergency responders.

The cooperative arrangement between Troop 731 and the AVFD will benefit both organizations and the community. The funds raised will allow Troop 731 to continue providing high quality outdoor leadership adventure opportunities for our children. For the AVFD, this is one of several fund raising activities being conducted to raise money to upgrade the fire and emergency apparatus serving Crofton. Specifically, we have recently replaced the aging Rescue Squad 7 which has provided heavy rescue and extrication services to the Crofton for the last 20 years with a brand new, state of the art heavy rescue squad.

Volunteers from the Boy Scouts or the AVFD will come through your neighborhood in three stages:
1) Scrape and scrub the area to be painted
2) Paint the white reflective background with a concrete adhering paint
3) Paint your house number on the white background.

**NOTE: The AVFD curb painting program is no longer taking orders for the 2009 season, however, we will resume again in the spring, so check back often for details!
