Sen. Santarsiero and Rep. Brennan Announce $100,000 for Midway Volunteer Fire Company

BUCKS COUNTY − October 17, 2024 − Senator Steve Santarsiero (D-10) and Representative Tim Brennan (D-29) announced $100,000 in funding for Midway Volunteer Fire Company during a recent visit to the company. The funding will be used to support the volunteer fire company’s operations, including the outfitting of a truck to equip it for Swiftwater rescue.

“Our volunteer firefighters put themselves on the front line to keep our communities safe,” said Senator Santarsiero.  “It is critical that these dedicated volunteers have the resources necessary to do their job, which is why I am proud to have secured these funds with Representative Brennan to support the work of Midway Volunteer Fire Company.”

“I greatly admire the first responders who volunteer to be here for us in our greatest times of need and am proud to work with Senator Santarsiero to make sure they have the necessary resources to stay safe,” said Rep. Brennan. “We recently passed legislation in the House to expand mental health coverage for first responders, and to better protect firefighters from dangerous chemicals like PFAS. We also continue with bipartisan efforts to seek better incentives to recruit and retain volunteer firefighters.”

Serving Buckingham and Solebury townships, Midway is an entirely volunteer fire company, providing fire protection and rescue services to the community.
