Volunteer fire companies gain state support amid legal aid push
Pennsylvania legislators back a bill to subsidize or assist with legal costs for volunteer fire companies facing actions arising from responding to emergencies at state sites. Senator R Budd Dwyer notes most state installations rely on volunteers and argues state aid is fair, given the vast cost of backing 300 000 volunteers and their equipment. The proposal centers on recognition and protection rather than endorsing specific lawsuits. The effort cites hospitals prisons colleges and state facilities from DOT garages to liquor stores as dependent on volunteer fire services. The measure aims to balance risk and support between state entities and the volunteers who protect them.
