Eligible recipients of Program funds include Municipal Fire Departments and<br />Combination Fire Departments recognized by OSFC.<br />When determining an applicant’s eligibility as a Municipal Fire Department under the <br />Program, OSFC will give great weight as to how firefighters of Municipal Fire <br />Departments are paid by the municipality, as firefighters of Municipal Fire Departments <br />are typically considered municipal employees who receive paychecks and corresponding <br />tax statements issued by the municipality. Final determinations on eligibility will be made <br />by the Fire Commissioner.
