Harlem-Roscoe
Firefighter's Association

         The Harlem-Roscoe Firemen’s Association was created when the district was formed in 1940 and officially acquired not-for-profit status on January 22, 1960.

          The early Association used fundraising to purchase fire trucks and equipment. As the tax base increased over the years, the department was able to cover those costs. The Association now focuses on developing and improving our firefighter's through training, gear, tools, and much, much more!  We also support the community in which we serve by donating to our local schools and other instuitions.  The firefighters continue to have Association meetings and each fundraising event is now earmarked for a specific purpose.

          Yearly events the Association hosts or participates in include: Our Spring Dinner, Golf Play Day, Roscoe Fall Festival, Senior Turkey Dinner, and the Family Christmas Drive.

          The Association held fundraisers as early as 1945, the firefighters held dances and chicken and ham dinners at the Roscoe Town Hall. Other fundraisers throughout the years have been selling flowers, car washes, garage sales, bake sales, breakfasts, benefit dinners, donkey basketball games, haunted hay rides, dances, Fireman's Ball and many dinners.
