Counties across the state will divide more than $66 million in funding for volunteer firefighters.
According to Pennsylvania Auditor General Tim DeFoor, Butler County’s share comes to over $1.3 million, which will go to the Volunteer Firefighters’ Relief Associations of municipalities within the county.
Some of the biggest amounts include Cranberry Township at over $288,000, Adams Township with over $138,000, and over $115,000 going to Butler Township.
Relief association contributions help to pay for needed equipment, training and insurance. This funding comes from a two percent tax on out-of-state casualty and fire insurance premiums.
