Firefighters Relief Fund grants new distributions in Kansas
More than 5.1 million dollars flowed into the Firefighters Relief Fund in Kansas last year. Franklin and Anderson counties will each receive over 25 thousand dollars, with Franklin at 45,334 and Anderson at 25,647. Funds come from a 2 percent tax on fire and lightning insurance premiums and support families of injured or killed firefighters. The distribution depends on the population served, and policies chosen by each association. Education funding rose to 165,508 from 156,146 last year to cover fire prevention and extinguishment training. Kathleen Sebelius emphasized the program’s purpose and thanked firefighters associations for their service to public safety.
