Join us in a special mission to honor Jim Witmer’s life and memory and secure his legacy!

WPGS founder Jim Witmer has been a member of East Brandywine Fire Company since 1985, holding every position including Chief and Chief Emeritus.

"It was always in Jim's heart to have the station remodeled,” said Ruth Witmer, Jim’s wife and President of WPSG. “But during his last attempt at fundraising he was diagnosed with Early On-set Alzheimer's at age 57." Ruth continued, "The fire department has renewed fundraising efforts with the desire to complete this renovation in time for Chief Emeritus Jim Witmer to see it.”  

It's in that vein that we are requesting help to see them raise enough money in his honor to see it completed this summer as his Alzheimer's has progressed more rapidly this year. The department's goal is to raise $250,000 by July to complete the renovation and cement Jim’s legacy. Please consider making a donation to ensure their goal is met. Donations can made via the link below or at checkout on TheFireStore.com!

Thank you!
