HARRISBURG – Rep. Dave Zimmerman (R-Lancaster) today announced funding for local fire and emergency response organizations through the Fire and Emergency Medical Services Grant Program.
“Our fire and EMS companies are vital to our communities and the people who live and work in them,” said Zimmerman. “Most of these companies are volunteer, and they do a lot with the little they have. Because of this, I know these grants are greatly needed and much appreciated.”
