How much of my Hemlock Farms Community Association dues goes to the HFVF&R Co.?
This is a common misconception, and NO community dues are given to the HFVF&R Co. We are a non-profit, 100% volunteer company entirely funded through private donations, our own fund raisers, and third party billing through EMS (Emergency Medical Services). We do receive funds called Firemen’s Relief from the state, with which we are allowed to purchase certain clothing and rescue equipment. This is not to say that the HFCA does not support us monetarily; a recent line was added to the HFCA budget to include yearly hose testing. In turn, this should lower our ISO rating, resulting on lower insurance premiums for homeowners!
