Allied Fire Protection, Inc. understands that it has a responsibility to “Give Back” to the communities in which we conduct our business endeavors. We would not have achieved over 30 years of success without the support of the communities in which we live and work. Whether it is through direct Financial Contributions, or the volunteering of our time, equipment, and resources; we take great pride in being able to continually assist in various ways. Below is a few examples of our Community Involvement efforts:
HURRICANE MATTHEW DISASTER ASSISTANCE
Allied Fire Protection, Inc. served as a “Donation drop off location” for supplies to help those in need, as a result of Hurricane Matthew. We collected 2 truckloads of goods from our employees, friends, churches, etc. With many of our employees, families, and friends living in the Robeson County, N.C. area, we feel very blessed and honored to have been able to collect, organize/load, and deliver the goods to this great community.

GARNER FIREMEN’S DAY
“The proceeds raised through Garner Firemen’s Day supports charities such as “Relay for Life”, the Shriner’s Club, Fallen Firefighters’ Association, Special Olympics and the Garner Magnet High School. We also donate to local Firemen, Police Officers and EMS workers who are financially struggling due to an injury or illness (such as cancer). The majority of the proceeds go to the NC Jaycee Burn Center in Chapel Hill. Every December, members of our fire department travel to the Burn Center with gifts and a direct donation. A fireman will dress up as Santa Claus and visit every patient in the burn unit regardless of age. With help in the past from such great companies as Wal-Mart and Target, we are able to purchase gifts such as slippers, robes, CD players, DVD movies, and much needed phone cards for the patients. The smile on their face when Santa gives them a gift is so amazing and rewarding.” ……. this statement was taken from the Garner Fire-Rescue Sponsorship request form.
