The Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company is teaming up with Cici's Pizza for a fundraiser on Tuesday, July 7th, 2009. Come to the Cici's at 500 Fort Evans Road between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. for a meal and Cici's will generously donate 10% of your check to us, your local volunteer fire company!
There is one small catch -- you have to tell the cashier at Cici's that you are there to support the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company. To make it easier, we've prepared a printable flyer you can take with you to Cici's on the 7th. Simply hand it to the cashier and they'll handle the rest!
Click on the small image to access the printable flyer.
We look forward to seeing you on the 7th of July and thank you for your support!

Tanker 601 is making great progress at Pierce. Thanks to Randy Schwartz for the latest pictures, taken 5/28/09.
In the middle of 2008, Company 1's apparatus committee developed a specification for a new vehicle to replace our year 2000 Luverne pumper tanker twins. As the specification developed, it became clear that the best option was a new pumper tanker with a much larger tank capacity than we had with the Luvernes. Late in 2008, the specification was sent to several manufacturers for bid proposals. Ultimately, Pierce Manufacturing of Appleton, Wisconsin won the bid and we signed a contract with Randy Schwartz from Singer Associatesin December.
Fast forward to May, 2009 and our new pumper tanker is now under construction! We're anticipating a delivery date in late June and are targeting August 1st for an in-service date. If you'd like to see a full line drawing of our new tanker, click here. For those interested in specifications, here are a few:
The Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company is anxiously awaiting delivery of this new piece of apparatus that will greatly enhance our water carrying capabilities for non-hydranted areas. Check back for photos as they become available.
