Okla. governor proposes money for firefighters
By KOTV (Oklahoma)
OKLAHOMA CITY — Governor Brad Henry wants to provide $28.5-million to help firefighters be better able to respond to emergencies such as the current wildfires in the state.
The plan includes a supplemental appropriation to immediately give more than $2,000 to volunteer fire departments across the state. It would also increase the state's annual grant to the departments from $2,780 a year to $4,720 a year.
Another $4.5-million would be put in a fund that fire departments could use to replace old or damaged equipment and $3-million would be used for more training. Nearly $1.5-million in extra funding would go to the state Department of Agriculture next year for aerial firefighting.
