FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — Frederick County government is cutting seven management jobs in fire-and-rescue services. 

The county commissioners announced the cuts Monday to save $670,000 annually beginning with the fiscal year starting in July. 

Board President Blaine Young says the commissioners also are considering eliminating 34 vacant positions as part of a reorganization of the fire-and-rescue division. 

The division currently provides 375 jobs, including the vacant positions.
