Brown’s Legislation to Bolster EMS and Fire Funding Flexibility Becomes Law

I’m pleased to share that my legislative package to expand funding flexibility for emergency medical services (EMS) and fire departments has officially been signed into law. These new laws update Pennsylvania’s municipal codes to help address critical financial challenges in EMS and fire staffing.

This means local governments can now allocate funds more effectively—particularly for staffing—without raising taxes. This flexibility is essential as our first responders work to meet the growing needs of our communities.

LEBANON COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) -- State Police released new details Friday about the fatal four-vehicle crash that closed a stretch of I-81 by the Dauphin and Lebanon County line on Thursday morning.

James Stokes, 27, of Cresco, was killed in the crash that happened before 2:30 a.m. on I-81 north in East Hanover Township by Mile Marker 84.8, State Police at Jonestown said in a release.

A tractor-trailer crashed into the back of another one, causing the first tractor-trailer to jackknife. Then a vehicle that Stokes was a passenger in crashed into the back of the second tractor-trailer, which then caused that to move into the other lane where a fourth vehicle hit it and caught fire.

Stokes was pronounced dead at the scene, while two other people were taken to Hershey Medical Center for evaluation, State Police say.

Hi, my name is Pickles, and I am 6 years old. I love to go on walks and I love getting treats.

I’m such a goofball and I’m friendly with people, though I´m a little more selective with other dogs. Whenever I go on walks, I’m better on a leash.

I prefer to be the only pet in a household because I am not entirely comfortable around other pets, and I would love a fenced yard.
