Hartley firefighters to canvas town for fundraiser

The Hartley Firefighters’ Association will be holding its annual pancake breakfast fundraiser on Sunday, Nov. 1. Prior to the event, the firefighters will be canvassing town and selling tickets on Monday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m.

Extra precautions will be taken this year to prevent the spread of COVID-19 while the firemen are out canvassing. They ask that if you don’t feel comfortable with them stopping, don’t answer the door. Likewise if your family is in quarantine or infected with COVID-19. If you don’t feel comfortable answering but still want to leave a donation, you can tape an envelope to the door addressed to the Hartley Fire Department.

Canvassers will also leave a flyer in the doors of those who do not answer. The pancake breakfast will be held at the Hartley Community Center.
