Van Hollen, Cardin, Raskin, Trone Announce American Rescue Plan Funding for More Than 60 Fire and EMS Departments in Western Maryland
Today, U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen and Ben Cardin and Congressmen Jamie Raskin and David Trone (D-Md.) announced $1,381,911 in American Rescue Plan funding for fire and emergency rescue departments across Western Maryland.
“Despite increased challenges from the COVID-19 pandemic, emergency and first responders across Maryland continued to deliver life-saving care to those who needed it most,” the lawmakers said. “This new federal funding from the American Rescue Plan will ensure our rural fire and rescue teams have adequate funding and supplies to keep serving Western Maryland.”
The award comes from the Maryland Emergency Management Agency, through COVID-19 federal funding from Congress, to assist departments recovering from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. The awardees include:
