Introduction |
 |
|
The Wilkins Township Volunteer Fire Company #3 was founded in 1922, orginally named Franklin Volunteer Fire Company. We serve the entire Township of Wilkins and assist in the protection of our surrounding communities by way of mutual-aid agreements. The various parts of this website are designed to provide the community with an inside look at life in the fire service. Please return to the site often, as one of our goals is to provide regular updates via this website. One of the big things that we are currently working to improve is the images in the photo gallery. |

Annual Gun Bash |
|
|
A gun bash is usually held in November of each year by Braddock VFD #2, Forest Hills VFD, and Wilkins Township VFC #3.
This year's bash was held on Saturday November 7, 2009 from 1pm-7pm at Braddock's social hall on Talbot Avenue. Thank you for a great event! It was a great success, fun was had by all who attended and those fire department members whom volunteered their time. A special thanks to Saloom's Department Store, of Mt. Pleasant, PA!
This year we are trying something different by holding our gun bash before the start of deer season. The next gun bash will be held on September 18, 2010 from 1-7pm. Doors open at noon.
Check back for updates and for ticket information. |

The volunteers of Wilkins VFC #3 provide valuable services to township residents, as well as the residents of surrounding communities when needed. However, their time is not enough to keep the equipment and facilities ready when needed.
For this reason, the fire company holds many fundraising events that pay for building maintenance, vehicle maintenance, tools, and firefighter training. The company has hoagie sales, fish dinners during lent, spaghetti dinners, a gun bash and a street collection sent by mail.
If you would like to attend one of these events, head on over to our events page for an updated list of upcoming events.
If you've missed our street collection or we have done something that made a profound, positive impact upon your life and you'd like to donate we ask that you use the PayPal donate button in the menu bar to help us help others.
If you've already donated, the members of Wilkins VFC #3 thank you for your support. |
