White said about 20 to 25 volunteers from the Radnor Fire Company would qualify, and about ten from the other companies. Instead, Radnor opted for a stipend program that will provide a $1,000 to try to attract and retain firefighters. The program would affect members of the Radnor, Bryn Mawr and Broomall fire companies and each person would have to respond to a minimum of 25 percent of all calls into Radnor Township from the previous year.īill White, township manager, said after speaking with the three fire companies that cover Radnor the tax credit didn’t do enough to help retain volunteers since it only helped those people who own a home in Radnor. Instead of a tax credit, Radnor went with the stipend since more people would qualify. The program is similar to other communities that give property tax credits as an incentive to join their local fire company or EMS units. This week, the Radnor Board of Commissioners passed a resolution to provide qualifying firefighters a $1,000 stipend as a way to encourage more participation.

RADNOR - Firefighters in Radnor can now look forward to getting a little something extra for their volunteer efforts.
