SOUTHWICK – The Southwick Fire Department has brand new 2017 calendars for everyone in town; and that means everyone. The fire department has delivered the calendars to every resident in Southwick free of charge.
The calendars include every personnel member of the fire department, scattered throughout all 12 months and pages.
Advertisements are also featured in the calendar, with businesses that helped pay for it.
“We want to thank the businesses that helped support making the calendar,” said Southwick firefighter Jessica Bishop.
This marks the first time that the Southwick Fire Department has created calendars. The Southwick Fireman’s Association first came up with the idea and helped the fire department support additional costs towards the calendar.
In every calendar sent to the homes was a self-addressed envelope with a postcard on it allowing the homeowner an option to donate towards the Southwick Fire Department.

Any donations that will be made will go to a beneficial opportunity for the fire department.
“We are using the funds we collect to purchase a new ATR (Altering Rescuing Vehicle),” said Bishop.
The ATR will help the department with brush fires and other rescuing situations.
Bishop and the rest of the fire department have always been grateful for the amount of support they have gotten from the community, including the calendar fundraising going on now.
“We just wanted to be able to thank the towns-people,” said Bishop.
