The Fort Hunter Auxiliary was established in 1950 for the purpose of supporting the volunteers in the Fort Hunter Fire Company. “Support” originally meant providing emergency feeding to the firefighters during major incidents or fires, and purchasing items for the fire station that the company wanted. As times changed, so did the Auxiliary mission. We still provide emergency feeding, however, the Fire District and Fire Company purchase most of the needed equipment and supplies themselves.

The Auxiliary now serves many different purposes and hosts several functions during the year for the Fire Company and our community. In October of each year, we plan the annual Halloween Party which is paid for by the Fire Company for the children in our Fire District. All children ages ten and under are invited to attend in their costumes for an afternoon of fun and activities in a safe Halloween environment. In December, we host the annual Breakfast with Santa. In March there is an annual corn beef and cabbage dinner for St. Patrick's Day. At Easter there is a breakfast where children can meet the Easter Bunny. The proceeds from these events help us provide emergency feeding for the firefighters at major incidents.

Being a member of the Auxiliary involves only as much time as you are able to commit to. Membership is open to individuals 16 years of age and older. We hold two mandatory business meetings (March and September), and regular monthly meetings on the second Monday of each month, for those who are able to attend and donate their time and expertise for event planning. Like the Fire Company, we can always use more help and new ideas, and we welcome you to join. Please contact a member of our Auxiliary at 355-2434 for more information on how you can become involved and lend a helping hand.

Lastly, thank you to our community for your participation in our events, and the support you have shown us over the last few years. We look forward to seeing you again In the future!
