The Marshfield Fire and Rescue Department recently learned it will receive $111,000 in state grant funding, a part of the $32 million in state emergency medical services (EMS) Flex Grants.
Including the Marshfield Fire and Rescue Department, the EMS Flex Grant has been awarded to 442 Wisconsin licensed emergency medical services (EMS) throughout the state to help deliver pre-hospital emergency services.
Originally, Governor Tony Evers directed the Department of Health Services to use $12 million in American Rescue Plan Act – State and Local Funds, to give Wisconsin EMS providers funding to relieve financial effects of COVID-19 on services. Due to the overwhelming responses from over 400 applicants submitting requests totaling $63 million, the Governor has added an additional $20 million to allow more funding assistance to be provided to service agencies bringing the total amount awarded to licensed Wisconsin EMS services to $32 million.
