Cambridge Wendy's Fire 2

DORCHESTER COUNTY, Md.- The Dorchester County Council approved a measure to give volunteer firefighters and EMTs a property tax credit.

In the vote on Tuesday, councilmembers authorized the $500 credit. Any active first responder in Dorchester County is eligible. 

According to the bill, the property tax credit is effective in July.

The hope is this credit would appeal to potential first responders.
