The Bozeman Fire Department is warning residents about a potential scam concerning fire department equipment and funding being conducted in the area.

We have had reports of a caller contacting residents stating that they are a member of the Bozeman Fire Department and that they are collecting funds for fire department equipment. The caller advises that donations can be made in the amount of $50, $75, and $100 dollars via a credit card.

Bozeman Fire does not solicit via phone nor does it use third party solicitors for any funding activities. If you receive a suspicious call please do not provide them with your personal information or any payment information and report the suspicious call.

For additional information you may contact Fire Chief Josh Waldo @ 582‐2351
