It has been brought to our attention that someone is going door to door in Elkton soliciting funds to support the fire company.

The only method that Singerly Fire Company uses to directly solicit funds is through our annual Fund Drive, these mailers will be going out in April.

We appreciate the support from our community and encourage you to contact local law enforcement if you encounter this.

Thank You
