For years, our Fire Chief, Travis VanKoughnett, has been the person our community could count on in times of crisis. He has always answered the call, putting the needs of others before his own and dedicating countless hours to keeping us safe. Now, Travis is facing a challenge of his own. Due to a serious injury and ongoing health complications, he is unable to work and is looking at a long road to recovery. While we want to respect his privacy, the financial burden on Travis and his family has become significant, and they need our help.

We are raising funds to support Travis and his family during this difficult time. Donations will go directly toward easing the stress of essential expenses, helping them focus on healing rather than worrying about finances. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and show Travis that his years of service have not gone unnoticed.
If you’re able, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Your support means so much to Travis and his loved ones, and it’s a way for us to stand behind someone who has spent so much of his life helping others. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

If you would like to make out a check instead of donating online, please make the check out to Travis Vankougnett and mail it to PO Box 248, Adams Center, NY 13606 and we will make sure he gets it.

For years, our Fire Chief, Travis VanKoughnett, has been the person… David Harrienger needs your support for Support Fire Chief Travis VanKoughnett’s Recovery
