Carroll County’s 12 rural volunteer fire departments will each be presented $2,000 through action taken by members of the Carroll County commissioners at Monday night’s meeting of the County Legislative Body.
The funds are from the Cares Act Funding the county has received. The fire departments had shortfalls in funding this past year due to the COVID situation. No fundraisers were able to be held.
