Escambia Considers $200 Stipend To Volunteer Firefighters For Hurricane Sally Service
October 13, 2020
The Escambia County Commission is set to approve an extra stipend payment for volunteer firefighters that worked during Hurricane Sally.
If approved, volunteer firefighters that worked during the declared state of emergency will receive an extra $200 each. Four employees that did not meet the required 72 hours in support of Hurricane Sally but did work 70 hours will also receive the $200 stipend.
The estimated total cost of the stipends is less than $6,000 for Hurricane Sally.
The BOCC will vote on stipend resolution to approve the payments at their next regular meeting on October 15.

That’s chump change, they deserve more than that. Use some of that mobilty money.
I’m sure they will be glad to get it but $200 is chump changed compared to all the overtime the permanent Esc County employees will receive for working immediately after the storm.
Good, they deserve it, and more,
Escambia County still has volunteer fire fighters? Surprised they haven’t pushed them all out of the way… I’m sure the numbers are low…. less than 1/4 of what they were before the “professionals” took over
….sounds like a good idea to me..those guys put in a lot of hours…
