January 2021 News Roundup

January 29, 2021 News Roundup

It may be a new year, but the struggles of improper funding, lack of stimulus help and the raging pandemic still remain. Firefighters and EMS Fund took a look at 6 ballot measures that failed in last year’s elections and examines the impacts these have on their local fire departments. 

We are nearing a year since this pandemic struck our country, and still feeling the effects of it all. Many more fire department layoffs are likely in 2021. Firefighters and EMS Fund urge supporters to demand elected officials to step up for first responders during these times. As always, this year’s mission is to give a grassroots voice to firefighters across the country in the state and local political process. Stay tuned for more projects to come.
