Description

From the Office of Senator Bernie Sanders:

Sen. Bernie Sanders holds a roundtable discussion with Vermont first responders on Monday, January 29 at 10:00 a.m. to hear about challenges they face and what the federal government can do to support them.

The discussion with firefighters and EMS providers covers a range of issues, including recruitment, wages, training, and equipment costs. Sanders and attendees provide updates on several Congressionally Directed Spending projects for which Sanders secured more than $1.5 million in federal funding. The funding is being used to quadruple the number of spots at the Vermont State Firefighters Association cadet academy, establish more affordable EMS training, and build a new ambulance station in Waterbury.
