Brewster County accepts $500,000 rural ambulance grant to outfit ambulances
Summary
The Commissioners Court accepted a $500,000 state rural ambulance grant to outfit and equip ambulances; officials said the funds can purchase roughly two ambulances' interior equipment and will support a potential Emergency Services District application.
County leadership told the court Brewster County received a $500,000 rural ambulance grant from the State of Texas intended to outfit ambulances and purchase interior equipment. "We did receive the rural ambulance grant from the state of Texas $500,000," the judge said, and commissioners discussed that the award can cover vehicle outfitting and equipment such as stretchers and EKG machines.
Commissioners asked how many ambulances the grant would fund; a county official said the amount will likely outfit two ambulances. The court approved acceptance of the grant and discussed phasing orders to ensure vendors can supply the equipment and that the county selects a vendor that is financially stable.
