A dozen local fire and ambulance companies will receive grants this year, state Rep. John Galloway announced Friday.

Bristol Fire Company, Bristol Volunteer Company No. 6, American Hose Hook and Ladder, and Bristol Consolidated will each receive about $11,000.

Edgely, Fairless Hills, Falls Township and Levittown, Morrisville and Tullytown fire companies will also receive about $11,000 each.

Bucks County and Levittown-Fairless Hills rescue squads will each receive about $5,000, Galloway said.

“These grants can be used for purchasing equipment, upgrading facilities, training or paying down debt,” Galloway said. “Far too much time is spent by our volunteer first responders raising money.”
