New York State Sen. Chris Jacobs went to the Town of Tonawanda Fire Training Tower today to announce he has secured $25,000 in state funding to support critical emergency services in the Town of Tonawanda. The public protection dollars being delivered by Jacobs will support emergency medical services, specifically the paramedic unit, and the volunteer fire services.
"Town of Tonawanda residents are blessed to live in the only municipality in Western New York that has its own paramedic unit, and they are very well served by the dedicated volunteer firefighters throughout the town," Jacobs said. "One of the primary responsibilities of state government is to help ensure the safety and security of every New Yorker, and I know the paramedics and firefighters will put these dollars to good use."
