Erie, PA - Erie County Executive, Brenton Davis, will present a transformational grant award of $170,000 to Fairview Township for the purchase of the Lake Shore Fire Department ambulance (Unit 507).

West County Paramedic Service provides Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) services to ten municipalities in Western Erie County. This grant will ensure the continued delivery of BLS services to the residents of Fairview Township.

This investment, made possible by the Erie County Fire and EMS Transformational Grant Fund using Gaming Funds allotted to Erie County, seeks to ensure the sustainability of regional EMS providers.
