April 30th - Buchanan Valley Fire Department is kicking off the 2008 Fund Drive. The donations from this fund drive go directly to help fund the fire department. Buchanan Valley Fire Department's existence depends on both donations and the money made at fund raisers. The volunteers at Buchanan Valley FD are your neighbors volunteering their time to help their neighbors. If you did not receive a Fund Drive letter and feel that you should have, please email me @ dce3fd@yahoo.com or click the link below and you can print one out.
