of the things the Auxiliary does is provide rehab on fire runs, plan activities for the

families of the department to get together, and participate in fundraisers.

Fundraisers have included: Soup & Dessert Dinners, Craft Show, Chinese Auctions, And the Hydetown Fireman's

Festival, Penny Raffle, and Safety Days.

Auxiliary Prayer

The auxiliary wait, while Their men
respond, united as one in a common
bond. The bond of serving, each in their
own way, the needs that arise, be what
they may.

The reheated meals, the unsipped drink,
are a common occurrence, much more
then you think.

It's mostly routine and done without flair,
the men return, their auxiliary are there.

But then comes the call, the tough one to
fight, a working fire that may last through
the night.

The ladies again wait, but this time they
know, that sooner or later, they too will
go.

As they wait for the signal, the time
draws near, for that sooner or later to be
suddenly here.

The men are all weary, some of them
spent, the refreshments that arrive are like
heaven sent.

The auxiliary, in fact, is more than a
name. So God when we pray for the
firemen's care, include the auxiliary, who
were also there.
