Did you know…?

The 63 member of the Sharon Volunteer Fire Department (SVFD) and Sharon Ambulance are on call 24 hours a day- every day of the year- to serve and protect the people of Sharon.

We are a totally volunteer organization and never charge for our services.

The Department owns the Firehouse at 36 West Main Street in Sharon and all their apparatus and equipment. Each year The Department receives $100,000 from the Town of Sharon for operating expenses, $55,000 for capitol expenses and our insurance is covered. Other costs which are incurred, need to be covered from our volunteers fund raising efforts and donations. At this time, Sharon Ambulance receives $10 a year from the Town of Sharon and is able to cover all expenses with fund raising events, memorial gifts, donations and our Monthly Pancake Breakfast.

The newest fire engine is 15 years old- and The Department still operates a 1953 vehicle! Today, a new fire engine costs a minimum of $300,000. Initial fire training costs are about $600, with gear costing anywhere from $2-3,000 per person trained.

The current ambulance is 5 years old. Since that purchase, we have added a complete Stryker System (stretcher and power load) costing approximately $45,000 and a new hydraulic system for $10,000. It costs approximately $800 to train a new EMT and outfitting them with radio and gear is about $500.

Our major fund raising event for 2015 is Wine Tasting on the Green. Please join us for a great event for a great cause.

Thank you we appreciate your support that helps us maintain our service to you and the greater Sharon community.
