Ocean Springs city leaders voted Wednesday night to provide hazard pay to first responders over the next ten weeks. City police officers and fire fighters will receive a $100 bump in their next ten pay checks. It comes amid the new normal of the COVID-19 crisis, and just days after fire fighters and police worked closely together to protect community members from Tuesday’s brush fire. “You know it’s going to mean a lot when we look at our personnel and tell them they can expect a little bit of a bump in their income. It’s going to go a long way,” said Ocean Springs Fire Chief Derek Mccoy.
