Friends of Fairview

The Friends of Fairview Firefighters Association was originally created in 2007 as a 501(c)(3) organization to provide tax-deductible benefits to individuals and companies who want to donate to the Fairview Fire Rescue Department. In 2023 the Association was expanded to include the Fairview Police Department and renamed the Friends of Fairview First Responders Association. The organization is independent of the City of Fairview, the Fairview Fire Rescue Department and the Fairview Police Department. Our mission is to help recruit, retain and improve the health and wellbeing of firefighters and police officers who serve the Town of Fairview. Our purpose is to raise funds to provide recognition and appreciation of the first responders who serve our community. Through our fund-raising activities, we are also able to provide additional items for these brave men and women that are not included in the City or fire/police department budgets. We also participate in community events to provide information about Friends of Fairview activities.
Our main fundraising activities include:

• Holiday Flag Program – Flags are placed at participants’ locations for seven holidays. In between these holidays, the flags are stored by Friends of Fairview. This program is only available for Fairview residents.
• Pancake Breakfasts – Friends of Fairview provides breakfast consisting of pancakes, sausage, orange juice and coffee at the fire stations. These twice annual events are great community builders and are open to the general public.
