Summary
The White Pine County Local Emergency Planning Committee approved submission of two SERC grant applications, directing remaining funds toward training and adding a second fire blanket for HazMat response; the motion passed unanimously.
White Pine County’s Local Emergency Planning Committee voted to submit two State Emergency Response Commission (SERC) grant applications with requested changes, directing remaining funds toward training and adding a second fire blanket for local HazMat response.
At the grants review, members described the applications as United We Stand (UWS), intended to aid law enforcement counterterrorism response, and Operations Planning Training Equipment (OPTE), aimed at supporting fire and rescue HazMat capabilities. Capt. Todd Fincher asked that the balance available be used for training; Chief Pat Stork requested "a 2nd fire blanket be added, with the balance be requested for training." Ross Rivera moved to submit the applications with those changes; Chief Pat Stork seconded and the committee approved the motion, recorded as "all in favor."
