Mark your calendars for October 16th, and come out and support our annual all-you-can-eat Turkey Dinner. Come dine at the firehouse and eat all you can, or order a generously stuffed takeout platter and eat at home - either way, please come support your local volunteers. Neither Allentown Borough or Upper Freehold Township have dedicated fire taxes so a large portion of our funding comes through fundraisers like this.
