Lebanon County fire companies received more than a half-million dollars through the 2022-23 Fire Company and Emergency Medical Service Grant Program.
The program is run by the Office of State Fire Commissioner and funded through proceeds from slot machine gaming.
According to the state’s press release, 2,336 applications were received and more than $31 million was awarded. Eligible projects include facility upgrades, equipment, debt reduction, training and certification, education and public outreach, and recruitment and retention efforts.
“Our office is pleased to see the level of interest in the FCEMS grant program increase year over year,” acting PA State Fire Commissioner Thomas Cook said in a press release. “This state support is much needed for our responders, and the communities they work tirelessly to protect.”
