Longwood Fire Co. has kicked off its annual fundraising appeal to help meet the expenses of running a 24-hours-a-day operation and will hold an open house on Sunday, Oct. 20, to show families how the company operates. In a press release, Chief A. J. McCarthy said the company responded to 512 calls for help in 2012. “Longwood Fire Company heavily relies on donations from the community to meet our budget.

We understand these are tough financial times. Each dollar we receive is valued and will be put to good use,” he said.
