Raise the Ladder Campaign
The Dundalk Fire Department has launched the Raise The Ladder Campaign to support the purchase of specialized equipment for the department’s first-ever aerial fire apparatus.
In October 2025, Council approved the purchase of a 78-foot Rosenbauer Viper Aerial Apparatus, scheduled for delivery in 2028. This important addition to the fire fleet will expand the department’s emergency response capabilities and enhance firefighter and community safety.
To fully equip the new aerial truck, the department has launched a fundraising initiative with a goal of $20,000. Thanks to the generosity of our community, including an early donation from Pallister Farms Ltd., more than $4,000 has already been raised.
Fundraising activities will continue throughout 2026 and 2027, and community members are invited to support the campaign.
