Sen. Mensch announces grant funding for fire, EMS companies
Sen. Bob Mensch (R-24) announced state grant funding for fire and EMS companies in Montgomery and Berks counties in the 24th Senatorial District.
The grants are awarded as part of the Volunteer Fire Company and Volunteer Ambulance Company Grant Program, which helps eligible organizations fund facility renovations and construction, equipment purchases, debt reduction and training.
“Firefighters and first responders are on the front lines of public safety in our communities,” said Mensch. “Providing these grants is recognition that the equipment, training and other investments required to do this work properly are very expensive. Many of these fire companies are volunteer, and simply cannot bear the burden without support such as this.”
