Incentives Proposed to Boost Frederick County Fire Volunteers
The Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association suggests tax breaks for active members and tuition credits at Frederick Community College. They propose a loan program for those unable to buy equipment and changes to the Length of Service Award Program to monthly payments after age 60 based on active duty years. Training requirements remain lengthy, and commuter patterns reduce daytime volunteers. The ideas aim to retain volunteers for county safety and meet rising demand.
