$30 Million Available for PA Fire and Volunteer Ambulance Grant Applicants

Posted: Feb 6, 2017

$30 Million Available for PA Fire and Volunteer Ambulance Grant Applicants

On behalf of Governor Tom Wolf, State Fire Commissioner Tim Solobay announced Friday that $30 million in grants will be available to fire and volunteer ambulance companies who applied for the funds through the Fire Company/Volunteer Ambulance Service Grant Program.

Volunteer Emergency Medical Services will receive $3.6 million and Volunteer and Career Fire Companies will receive a total of $26.4 million in funding.

Woodside (CA) Proposed Fire Station Both Familiar and New

The familiar would be mixed with the new in a design proposed for a new fire station for the Woodside Fire Protection District at 3111 Woodside Road in Woodside.

Because the site is along a scenic corridor, a second formal review by the ASRB is necessary, as is a review by the Planning Commission. Initial plans for the station, which is located on a one-acre lot, included a basement and a second story, but to keep costs down, those extra floors were eliminated, Chief Ghiorso said. The proposed plan is less intrusive in that it's one story and resembles a residence, making it more suitable for a residential community, he said.

College Park (GA) to Build $2.1M Fire Station

Fire Chief Wade Elmore said, "This station will respond to 65 percent of our total calls that we run annually. It also is going to reduce our response times. Currently, when we respond to this area, we have an eight- to 10-minute response time. This new fire station will reduce this time. We will have a four-and-a-half, five-minute response time. I think that will be great."

Its size will be 9,100 square feet and include two bays, eight bunks, dining room, kitchen, dayroom, lobby, locker room, multipurpose room and exterior patio.
