FOLSOM, Oct. 8 – State Rep. Leanne Krueger announced that several local fire and emergency service organizations will receive grants to offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through Act 26, the state made $50 million in grants available to fire and emergency medical service organizations that were affected by the pandemic. The funding can be used for operational and equipment expenses.
