Counties across the state will divide more than $54 million in funding for volunteer firefighters.
According to Pennsylvania Auditor General Tim DeFoor, Butler County’s share comes to nearly $1.03 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 $215,000, Adams Township with nearly $103,000, and nearly $94,000 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.
