KINGWOOD, W.Va. — The Preston County Commission approved emergency funding for KAMP Ambulance in an emergency meeting Monday.

Commissioners voted to send $16,000 to KAMP in order for them to be able to meet payroll.

EMS agencies have suffered financially in recent years and others are hurt even more by the federal government shutdown like KAMP Ambulance.

There are concerns of how much help the county can provide if the shutdown is extended, commissioners said.

The county commission meets in regular session Wednesday morning.
