State Rep. Pam Snyder, D-Jefferson, announced Thursday the following Greene County fire companies and ambulance squads have been awarded grants through the state Fire Company and Volunteer Ambulance Service Grant Program.
“Our first responders save Pennsylvanians an estimated $6 billion every year and richly deserve this money so they can focus on saving our lives and properties,” Snyder said. “It is but a small down payment on what they provide our communities.”
About $30 million was awarded statewide for eligible uses, including construction or renovation of facilities, purchase or repair of equipment, debt reduction and training.
