The Stepney Volunteer Fire Company in Monroe has been made aware that an out-of-state organization has been making solicitations via phone and mail to raise money. 

The organization called the "Volunteer Firefighter Alliance" is not affiliated with any of the three volunteer fire departments in Monroe and they don't directly benefit from donations to the group. 

The Stepney, Monroe Volunteer Fire Department and Stevenson Volunteer Fire Company do hold an annual fund drive each year, via the mail.  Their official mailings ask for a donation addressed exactly to the respective fire station.
