Quick Bites
Volunteer-Funded Fire Model Strains Under Cost Increases in Prince William
Prince William County is changing how it funds its fire department due to rising costs that have outpaced traditional community fundraising methods. Two older stations, including Botts Fire Station in Woodbridge, are being replaced, and officials are considering increased public funding or other financial restructuring to maintain emergency services. The shift highlights growing pressure on hybrid fire systems that rely on both volunteers and county support. (PW Times)
