• Northampton County Weighs New Incentive Plan to Boost Volunteer Firefighter Ranks (capecharlesmirror.com) — Volunteer fire and rescue units serving Cheriton, Cape Charles, and Eastville may soon see a new, more equitable county incentive program aimed at boosting their ranks. Northampton County supervisors have set aside $40,000 to replace vehicle tax credits with station-level funding, but delayed a final vote until their next meeting, which could shape how local departments recruit and retain volunteers.
