Fire Department Warns Girardville Residents About Phone Calls Soliciting Money

A fire department in Girardville is warning borough residents of a scam that is soliciting money.


According to the Ranger Hose Company, Girardville, the firehouse has received multiple reports of someone calling residents asking for monetary donations for the Volunteer Firefighter's Association.

Residents report that the number being used is the firehouse's phone number (570-276-1406), but the fire department stresses that they will never solicit for monetary donations over the phone.

The individual who is calling is reported to have no affiliation to the Girardville Fire Department or Schuylkill County Volunteer Firefighter's association.
