All eligible council members voted to approve the LOSAP contributions submit- ted by Plan Coordinator Bruce Rigg, a long- time volunteer firefighter and officer. The figures were approved by a vote of the borough council.

All other coun- cil members approved the move. LOSAP provides funds to volunteer firefighters and volunteer ambulance corps members who meet requirements based on the number of emergencies, drills, and classes they attend in any given year. The contributions are deposited annually with the Lincoln Financial Group of Fort Wayne, Indiana. Council and service members say that along with the fiscal benefits, the LOSAP contributions show volunteers that their services are recognized and appreciated by the entire community.
