Fire and rescue services in Rappahannock have been awarded S31,600 in matching grants from the Virginia Rescue Squad Assistance Fund, according to Gary Rosson, director of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Emergency Services Council.
Washington Volunteer Fite and Rescue Company will receive S20.000 in a 50-50 match for a basic life support ambulance to replace the old unit that has been broken down for much of the past year. ‘This is entirely state money that was appropriated for this purpose by the General Assembly,” Rosson reported.
In addition, the county’s fire and rescue association was awarded an $11,600 grant to assist in procuring a dispatch communications system. The money is allocated as an 80—20 percent hardship match.
