Deputy emergency manager outlines 'Stop the Burn' grant effort and local fire concern
Summary
Deputy Emergency Manager Jessica Pozehl updated commissioners on the CWDG 'Stop the Burn' grant application process, saying the county should know by June if it qualifies and noting fire concerns on U.S. Fish & Wildlife land south of Bassett.
Deputy Emergency Manager Jessica Pozehl briefed the Rock County Board of Commissioners on the CWDG "Stop the Burn" grant and a nearby fire concern. Pozehl said the county should know whether it qualifies for the grant by June and that she is developing a response plan for fire hazard on U.S. Fish & Wildlife land south of Bassett.
The update was informational; no formal direction or appropriation related to the grant was recorded in the minutes. Pozehl said she was working on a plan to address the specific fire concern on federal land adjacent to the county.
Commissioners did not vote on grant application steps at the March 7 meeting. Pozehl's remarks place the item on an implementation timeline that may require coordination with federal land managers if a grant is pursued or awarded.
