Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is trying to gather support from lawmakers on proposed funding increases for Pennsylvania’s fire and EMS departments. He says the 36-million-dollar increase in his proposed budget would address staffing shortages and equipment needs. The increase would bring funding up to 127-million-dollars altogether for fire and EMS. Governor Shapiro says county 9-1-1 centers would receive 50-million-dollars separately to address their own staffing shortages.
