HARRISBURG – Rep. Martin Causer (R-Turtlepoint) is encouraging area fire companies and ambulance services to apply for the 2017-18 Fire Company, Emergency Medical Service Grant Program.
Grants may be used for construction or renovation of a unit’s station, the purchase or repair of equipment, training or debt reduction. The maximum grant amount is $15,000 for fire companies and $10,000 for volunteer ambulance services. Career ambulance companies can apply for the grants, so long as they are designated as a municipality’s primary EMS provider.
Since its inception, the program has provided nearly $5 million in much-needed funding to fire and ambulance companies in Cameron, McKean and Potter counties.
A total of $30 million will be awarded through the program, which is funded through state gaming proceeds. The application period will remain open through Oct. 20. For more information, visit Causer’s website at
