HARRISBURG — Rep. Andrew Kuzma (R-Allegheny/Washington) today announced that 18 fire and emergency medical services companies serving the 39th Legislative District were awarded almost $300,000 in Fire Company and Emergency Medical Service grants. 

“Fire and ambulance service personnel go above and beyond on a daily basis to keep us safe and help us in emergencies,” Kuzma said. “These grants are a small way to help them do their job. Many emergency service personnel devote a lot of time to raise funds. The grants help lighten this burden a little.”

This grant program was initiated in 2000 and is open to all fire companies, volunteer ambulance services and volunteer rescue squads in Pennsylvania. Grant awards can be used for construction or repair of facilities, purchase or repair of equipment, debt reduction and training. The funding amounts are contingent on the recipients filing their grant agreements with the Office of the State Fire Commissioner.
