The Crown King Fire District would like to thank its citizens, businesses and visitors for their continuous support over the years. With the Covid-19 pandemic many of our means for fundraising have been put on hold. We are reaching out to you for your help! With our lowered fundraising income this year we are at risk of not being able to keep our doors open here at C.K.F.D.
Approximately 1/3 of the annual operating budget for the Crown King Fire Department comes from fundraising events held each year in the Summer and early Fall. Due to the COVID-19 precautions, we are unable to hold these events this year. So we need to replace a significant percentage of our lost fundraising with this Online Auction. We will have two more separate auctions: one from now through August 31st and the other from September 1 through September 30. New items will be added to this auction site every few days, so please check back often to see if there is an item you can't live without. Approximately 1/3 of the annual operating budget for the Crown King Fire Department comes from fundraising events held each year in the Summer and early Fall.

In-kind contribution
Did you know that you can help out the Crown King Fire Department simply by logging the hours that you spend cleaning up brush and pine needles on your property? For every hour that you spend making your own home fire wise the CKFD can receive an in kind contribution from a grant towards its financial obligations for ordering state services to reduce fuels and keep our town safe during this and future fire seasons. The only way the CKFD can receive this in kind contribution is if you complete a simple timesheet that documents your efforts. This timesheet is available at Fire Station 1, or click the button below for a copy that can be e-mailed back to the Station. Your help is greatly appreciated and goes a long way to making our town safe!
Please note raking pine needles is no longer accepted as in-Kind contribution. Must fill out one sheet per- person working on property.
