The Blackstone Volunteer Fire Department is hosting our annual Boot Drive this Saturday, September 12th, from 7:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. As our largest fundraiser of the year, every dollar dropped into the boot continues to directly support our volunteers and helps us keep our community safe.

With both the Boot Drive and the Annual Arts and Crafts Festival happening downtown, expect higher traffic than usual throughout the morning. Please keep these safety reminders in mind while driving as our members will be out at 5 locations around town:

- Watch for Signage & Cones
- Be aware that some locations will have speed reduction devices in place for member safety.
- Plan for extra travel time and slow down when approaching collection spots.

During this event, the safety of our volunteers on the road is our top priority. Thank you for your patience, drive safe, and thank you for supporting the Blackstone Volunteer Fire Department!
