WELCOME TO CRYSTAL LAKES FIRE INFORMATION  RESOURCE EDUCATION SAFETY CORPORATION

Crystal Lakes Fire Information Resource Education Safety Corp. (CL FIRES) is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt nonprofit charitable corporation that was created to support the Crystal Lakes Volunteer Fire Department (CLVFD) through fundraising activities and grant opportunities.

Fundraising activities provide extra money to purchase items for department personnel and equipment over and above what the Crystal Lakes Fire Protection District (CLFPD) mill levy provides. A majority of this fundraising is done through annual activities which include the Memorial Day Weekend Rummage Sale, the 4th of July Independence Day Celebration activities, and the Labor Day Weekend booth sales, as well as CLVFD merchandise sales.

CL FIRES also awards grants to CLVFD as well as other local community groups for the purpose of supporting community emergency services and encouraging education for fire prevention and personal safety.
