At least four counties —
Archer, Jack, Throckmorton
and Young, already have is-
sued wildfire emergency or-
ders prohibiting open burning.
Grass fires have been reported
throughout the 13-county leg-
islative district.
Finnell said the EPA should
respond immediately and affir-
matively to requests from Texas
DOT Director Arnold Oliver, a
native of the 68th House dis-
trict. Oliver seeks exemptions
from EPA regulations. Those
rules prohibit blading to remove
the dry grasses which act as
tender for wildfires. This dry
undergrowth along roadways is
as flammable as gasoline and
must be removed, according to
Finnell.
“We need the federal per-
mission now and forever in or-
der to avoid the hundreds of
thousands of dollars in dam-
age to crops, pasture, livestock,
equipment and, more impor-
tantly, to people and the homes
in which they live,” Finnell
said.
In 1989, Senator Steve Car-
riker secured a change in the
law. that, madC jigrants avail-
able to local Emergency-'Man-
agement Services through the
Texas Department of Health
to improve emergency medical
services throughout the state.
This year, during the 73rd Leg-
islative Session, Sen. Carriker
successfully worked to triple the
amount of funds available for
grants.
The Texas Department of
Health is now accepting ap-
plications for local E.M.S.
projects to increase the avail-
ability and quality of emer-
gency prehospital health care.
Some types of the projects eli-
gible for funding include E.M.S.
certification training, specialty
training related to prehospital
health care, E.M.S. equipment,
ambulances, computers, public
information, education and sys-
tem development.
In previous years, the aver-
age individual award amount
was approximately $6600 with
a range of $334 to $36,000. The
maximum award for the 1992-
93 funding period was $30,000.
For this funding period, approx-
imately $75,000 is available for
grants.
Organizations receiving fund-
ing will be required to provide
50% matching funds for each
equipment item with a useful life
of more than one year costing
more than $ 1,000. This program
provides reimbursement for ap-
proved costs associated with the
implementation of an approved
project. Projects will be funded
until the funds are exhausted or
present limits are reached.
If an E.M.S. has questions
or needs help in preparing their
proposal, the Bureau of Emer-
gency Management can pro-
vide assistance. Contact Gene
Weathcrall at 512 834-6700.
The deadline for submitting the
initial letter of intent is 5 p.m.
August 31, 1993. Only letters of
intent postmarked or delivered
to the TDK’s Bureau of Emer-
gency Management - in, Austin
will be considered’for funding.
