On the May 18th Primary ballot in Pennsylvania, there will be a question asking voters to authorize making municipal fire departments or companies with paid personnel and emergency medical services companies eligible to apply for loans from an already existing state loan program. This fund currently sits at $47 million dollars and by voting yes only adds approximately 30 additional fire departments eligible to apply for the loan. Please support this and VOTE YES.

New items added to our store. https://bethlehem-firefighters-local-735.square.site/
