The Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company is proud to host the 15th Blaze of Glory 5K road race. As the first race in the Bucks 5k Series 100% of the proceeds from the PVFC Blaze of Glory 5K go to support the volunteer efforts of the Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company.

The Plumsteadville Volunteer Fire Company is 52% funded by Plumstead and Bedminster Townships. The remaining 48% is raised via our fundraising events and community donations. Money raised goes towards much-needed safety equipment. To outfit a single firefighter with basic safety gear costs over $3,500.00.  This does not include the cost of an air pack which is an additional expense of $6,500.00.

PVFC is also raising money for two large capital projects:

  • A new firehouse to replace our existing building located at Point Pleasant Pike and Easton road.  The estimated cost for this project is 1.1 million dollars.
  • Two new fire engines to replace our 29-year-old trucks at an estimated cost of $700,000 EACH or 1.4 million dollars.

Your participation in the Blaze of Glory 5K goes a long way towards helping us reduce the debt needed for these purchases.
