New Report Shows Fire/Rescue Volunteers Save Montgomery County Tens of Millions of Dollars Anually -
A new report shows that highly trained and skilled volunteer firefighters, EMTs and paramedics save Montgomery County taxpayers more than $23 million in salary and benefit costs each year, while the local volunteer fire and rescue departments save millions of additional dollars through the purchase of vehicles and equipment and the use of fire stations that are owned by the Departments. "This report demonstrates how fire and rescue volunteers are essential to providing cost-effective public safety in Montgomery County," said Marcine D. Goodloe, President of the Montgomery County Volunteer Fire-Rescue Association, which compiled the report. "Without the commitment and service of volunteers, County taxpayers would pay tens of millions of dollars in additional taxes or the level of fire/rescue service would need to be drastically reduced," Goodloe added.
